Granada is a city that preserves the best architectural heritage of the Muslim past in Spain with the spectacular Alhambra, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, with its beautiful Nasrid Palaces, the Patio de los Leones and the Generalife. A whole set that is the great jewel of the place and the main reason why thousands and thousands of people visit the city. But the Moorish heritage does not end here, it continues in the Albaicin neighborhood, the oldest in the city and before the Alhambra, with many viewpoints to appreciate the panoramic views and full of history and movement. And in the Arab baths, some of which are still in operation.

Another unique neighborhood is Sacromonte which, besides offering great panoramic views, has the charm of its houses built on the rocks and painted white, with many flower pots, one of the most typical images of Granada that you can enjoy.

In Sierra Nevada you can enjoy the adrenaline of snow sports and take walks in the mountains through many routes with great scenery. An ideal getaway for those who love snow sports such as skiing or snowboarding and also for those who enjoy hiking and nature walks.

Traditional and modern Andalusian gastronomy come together in the bars of Granada where it is very typical that, with a beer or a glass of wine, you get a free tapa. And after lunch or dinner, if you are in the center of the city, the best option is to taste an exquisite Moorish tea in a place in the beautiful Calle de las Teterías.
