Granada

Granada

Located next to the Sierra Nevada Mountains and sitting at the joining of three Rivers, the Beiro, the Darro, and the Genil, Granada has a population of roughly 300,000 that fluctuates with the incoming and outgoing university population. The university population at the University of Granada of roughly 80,000 students spread over five different campuses create a vibrant younger population within the city.

A Reinaissance cathedral and chapel, a distinct Moorish quarter, gypsy cave dwellings, and a baroque monastery give Granada a unique appeal. 

Here you will also find the Alhambra.  The Alhambra, built at the beginning of the 14th Century, is a Moorish palace that represents the history of Islamic legacy in Andalusia.  You will not be disappointed with the architecture and beauty of this great attraction.  Connected to the Alhambra is the Generalife, a garden on the Cerro del Sol hill.

Granada is also famous for the author Federico Garcia Lorca, who lived in Granada and was killed just outside the city during the Spanish Civil War.
