About Granada
Granada lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada and was the last Moorish capital in Spain until 1492. The Alhambra rises above the city, facing the white alleys of the Albaicín, both World Heritage Sites. Bars often serve a free tapa with your drink, and flamenco is performed in the caves of Sacromonte.
