Information about how to visit the Alhambra in Granada from Madrid:

At the feet of Sierra Nevada Mountains, between the Darro and Genil rivers, you’ll find one of the most interesting cities of Andalusia. The impressive Andalusian legacy mixes with the Renaissance architectural jewels and the modern facilities of the 21st century. Granada is the capital of the province with the same name. It’s located at the feet of Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the Betic Mountain Range, the highest mountains in the Iberian Peninsula. It has one of the largest cultural heritage of this country. Apart of the worldwide famous Alhambra Palace and the neighbourhood of the Albaicin, declared as World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO, Granada holds a beautiful renaissance cathedral which construction started in the 16th century. There are plenty of monuments in every corner of this city.

The city of Granada was founded by the romans under the name of Iliberis. After the invasion of the Iberian Peninsula by the Muslims in the 8th century, it was named with its current name, Granada. The Catholic Kings conquered the city in 1492, completing the Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula for the Christianity. During the siege of the city, the Queen Isabella I of Castile received Christopher Columbus and she granted him the means to undertake his journey to the West Indies.

This hectic history has left numerous traces such as palaces, churches and other historical buildings that shows off the nicheness cultural heritage of the city. The Alhambra monumental complex: the Generalife Gardens, the fortress Alcazaba, the medina and the Palaces of the Nasrid Kings are known worldwide for their beauty but also for the stunning panoramic views that its location offers to the visitor. Inside this complex is located as well the Renaissance Palace of the Emperor Charles V alongside the Moorish bulwark.

In front of the Alhambra, on the other side of the hill, across the Darro River lies the Albaicin neighbourhood, a strait and fascinating maze of winding streets, its white houses, provided with their own interior gardens are known as Carmenes. Also, in Granada, you may vitis its Renaissance Cathedral considered the first one in Spain to be built in this style. Close to the Cathedral there’s the Royal Chapel, that was ordered by the Catholic Kings for their own tomb. Lots of other churches and palaces fill up the city, all built by the moors after the conquer, giving birth to a unique style known as Mudejar.
