Alhambra de Granada

Alhambra de Granada is a stunning 14th century Moorish castle located North of Granada, Spain. It was originally constructed as a fortress to protect the city from invaders and is now a popular tourist site. The outer wall of the castle is made of stone, while the higher area is enclosed in a terracotta-coloured stucco. Inside the castle is an array of beautiful Moorish architecture, including courtyards and gardens, fountains, towers, and art galleries. A guided tour of the castle is available year round and is highly recommended.

Not to be missed while in Granada is the Mirador de San Nicolás, a popular viewing point which offers breathtaking views of the city and the Alhambra. The terrace is located in the historic city center and is a must-see for visitors. The terrace is also a great spot for night views of the city and valley, with intimate views of the Alhambra lit under the starry night.
