From the European influence and the Moorish conquerors, it has been forged in the soul.<\/strong> This contrast has given this city a unique style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We loved so much the way the city is built up, enjoyed our Weekend Granada at the best. From the top of the Albec\u00ecn, you can enjoy the best view of the Alhambra.<\/strong>
The fortress is not the only landmark of this city. We went really off the beaten path in Granada and see what the tourists skip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
