About Granada

Granada was the capital of the Nasrid kingdom, the last Muslim state in Spain, which fell to the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. The Alhambra palace complex and the old hillside quarters of the Albaicín preserve that heritage, while the city's university, free tapas and flamenco give it a lively modern feel.

TravelDaddy verdictOne monument, a hundred reasons to linger.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
