The Alhambra

The Alhambra

Built on a hill overlooking Granada and set against a backdrop of the Sierra Nevada, the Alhambra is a majestic medieval complex of intricately decorated palaces, pristine gardens, and a once-mighty fortress. It is among the top 3 most visited landmarks in Spain, and together with the Generalife Gardens, they form a UNESCO World Heritage site. See the complex's fascinating mix of Renaissance and Moorish architecture, admire panoramic city vistas from a hilltop perch, and then stroll through the botanical beauty of the Generalife Gardens.

Flamenco Performances

Flamenco is a passionate, rhythmical dance drawing on folkloric music traditions from Southern Spain. Generally accompanied by special musical instruments, this is a vibrant form of art unique to the region. Numerous providers offer Flamenco experiences in all manner of locations. If you are in Sacramonte, make sure to catch a flamenco show at Zambra María la Canastera: performed in a tiny restored cave home laden with memorabilia. In the city centre, try El Tabanco for a reasonably priced Flamenco evening completed with wine and tapas. For a high end cultural experience, head to Casa del Arte.
