Granada

Granada is best known as the home of the awe-inspiring Alhambra, an imposing, red-hued palace and fortress complex, and one of the finest surviving examples of Moorish architecture on the planet. But there's much more to this sun-kissed Spanish city than legendary landmarks.

Lose yourself in its maze-like cobbled streets and you'll stumble across chic boutiques selling local fashion and artisan homewares, and bustling bars where you can sink ice-cold beers and graze on tasty tapas. If you're hankering for a more substantial meal, there's an abundance of warmly welcoming restaurants serving succulent seafood paella and other irresistible local specialties.
