A city of white-washed buildings and narrow streets, Granada is one of Andalusia’s most beautiful destinations. The crowning glory is the Alhambra, a hilltop palace that takes your breath away with its intricate architecture and stunning views over the city and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains. But Granada is about more than just one monument – the old city is a delight to wander around, with its atmospheric squares, lovely churches and busy tapas bars. Away from the tourist traps, there are also plenty of parks and gardens to explore, and the locals are famously friendly and welcoming.
