Granada Alhambra, Spain






Alhambra Google Map

Spanish poet Garcia Lorca called Granada is a town for the "meditation imagination".
Most tours to the Granada area go to the next town in around 2 hours, but then there is neither the impression of the trip nor the memory.
It is too particularly a waste of Alhambra of Granada in the passing by sightseeing of two hours in a certain European number palace.

You should stay in Granada in two days and watch the daytime Alhambra slowly and carefully at night. Then I recommend that you taste a town of Granada where has the feature of the history and the Jardin de Generalife for slowly and carefully

If you go to the Alhambra and do not look at the too fantastic night view, do not say to have gone to the Alhambra.
