Granada Hotels
GranadaGranada is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Federico Garcia Lorca, a writer and artist whose life was cut tragically short in the days of the Spanish Civil War. There are many tours available of the places he frequented, and the house where he was born. It is humbling to see where such greatness began, truly. Granada is a city in southern Spain, with a relatively small population, estimated at about 250,000 people. It is home of the famous Alhambra, the Moorish citadel which is important to the history and culture of the Muslims, Christians, and Jews. It is also home to the world famous University of Granada, and is developing a reputation for it’s vivid nightlife as well. And though it’s not a well-known fact, there is a lot of hiking and other outdoor activities available to those who look. The area surrounding the city has beautiful views of lakes, rivers, and the lovely Sierra Nevada. Granada is also the home of historical Flamenco dancing, and the “Gypsy” district of Granada is famous for its clubs, which offer nightly shows of this incredibly beautiful and moving dance. As far as the food, Granada has it all. The Mediterranean influence is strong, given its geography, and you can find the freshest, tastiest meals, in any atmosphere, from the formal Spanish dining experience, with course after course of delicious foods, to the tapas, which can be purchased from the vendors on the streets. Granada is an explosion of cultures and tastes, with something to be found for everyone. You can even take a walking tour to take in the gorgeous architecture of southern Spain.
