Pictures of Granada

The city of Granada has many places of interest which we can visit. The begining of itenerary starts in Albaycin - the old quarter is a network of streets and squares from where we have view on Alhambra and Sierra Nevada. In this old quarter, of special interest are the carmenes, charming houses with lovely gardens.

There are many plazas, as well as a botanical garden within the city that are worth a visit. Churches are in abundance in the area and their architecture tells much about the history of the city. Try to visit the Church of Santos Justo and Pastor, as well as the hospital and church of San Juan de Dios. The hospital patios and staircase above are outstanding to view. Make sure that you spend some time in the notable districts of Granada such as the historic old quarter, the Realjo district, El Albaicin and the Sacromonte area.

The Albaicin (or Albayzin, as it is sometimes known) is the Moorish quarter of Granada and it is a wonderland of the colours and fragrances of North Africa. When you enter the district, it's similar to walking back in time with restaurants and tearooms usual for North Africa juxtaposed with Islamic monuments and Spanish Casas and Carmens.
