There is a saying in Spain that says, "There is nothing worse than to be born blind in Granada."

You can imagine how beautiful the Alhambra is.

It is the location of "Memories of the Alhambra" Korean TV series, "Game of Thrones" and a love letter to Moorish architecture.

Alhambra, the palace in the world comparable to the Forbidden City, Arabic for "Red Fort", here is the essence of all the monuments left by the Moors in Spain 🇪🇸, known as "the city of palaces" and "the wonder of the world". The palace was built in the 13th and 14th centuries and is a castle complex built during the Moorish dynasty. It was selected as one of the 50 most beautiful castles in the world by National Geographic magazine.

Another highlight of the Alhambra is the Palace and Gardens of Genelalife, a retreat for Kings to escape from court life. Within the palace are a series of large gardens dotted with fountains and pools, courtyards and paths, as well as many brightly coloured flowers.

Climb to the castle and enjoy a panoramic view of Granada's Albaixin district

Palacio de Carlos V
