Granada

"There is nothing worse in life than being blind in Granada," said Mexican poet Francisco Icaza. Built at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Grenada seems to have been blessed by a god for its natural beauty. As in the wider region of southern Spain in Grenada, one can see the mixing of two cultures, with the Arab element being strong from the time of the Nasrid dynasty. With the Arab (Arabaicin), Jewish (Realejo) and Gypsy Quarter (Sacromonte) adorned with all sorts of colorful contrasts, the city captivates with its distinctive architecture and with its multi-collectible authenticity. Alhambra, the castle of the Moorish conquerors who had their capital here, is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Arab Quarter) is located directly opposite and is the most picturesque part of Granada, serving tea (teteria), bars and restaurants.

Nevada Cathedral (Cathedral of the Incarnation) is one of the most important buildings in the city, built in the 16th century and combines Renaissance style and Baroque architecture. The Sacromonte (Holy Mountain) is the gypsy neighborhood with its cave houses and the birthplace of flamenco in Granada. These are the gitanos dance shows with castanets and guitars, known as zambra. The bohemian neighborhood of Realejo (Jewish Quarter) 'is a must with its cobbled streets, beautiful houses, graffiti and the cream of the local alternatives it collects.' and remains unique, unruly and unsurpassed. Leaving it, the best epilogue is the words of Alexandros Dumas "There is only one joy for anyone who visits Granada, to return to it".
