Granada Airport Guide
The Alhambra is the must see in Granada and is split into various aspects. There’s the 13th century palace built within the original fortified walls and the Generalife, the fabulous gardens that surround it. The Alcazaba is the oldest part of the Alhambra and is now simply a ruined fortification at the highest point. Complementing the Alhambra is the Albayzin, a Muslim neighbourhood which is a great place for some quiet contemplation whilst wandering the ancient streets.
