Things to do in Granada, Andalucia: The Best Museums

December 9, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

The Alhambra citadel of Granada is one of the most famous buildings in Spain: a Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. Step backwards in time as you wind through the ascending cobblestone streets of Albayzin. You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views from the Mirador San Nicolas. Granada’s nightlife is vibrant and varied, thanks in part to its student population. Hit the bars of Calle Elvira or, for a quieter outing, the traditional tea rooms of La Calle de Las Teterias.

Pabellon Al-Andalus y la Ciencia

Casi ocho siglos de permanencia de los musulmanes en la Península Ibérica han conformado una herencia, la andalusí, que forma parte de las señas de identidad de la cultura española y mediterránea. La Fundación El legado andalusí pretende recuperar, difundir y poner en valor esa herencia de al-Andalus y recuperar aquella impronta de progreso y tolerancia, de creatividad e ingenio, que tanto contribuyó al renacer de Europa y a enriquecer su identidad actual.
