    10 min

  6. Opened in 1928, the Bullring of Granada is one of the most beautiful in Spain. Its neo-Mudejar architecture, with horseshoe arches and ornamental details, reflects the Andalusian essence. In addition to the corridas, today it hosts restaurants and cultural events, becoming an emblematic space of Granadan life.

    5 min

About Granada

Granada is an Andalusian city below the Sierra Nevada, home to the Alhambra palace complex, the Moorish Albaicín quarter and a famous tapas habit.

The Alhambra, a hilltop fortress and palace complex built by the Nasrid rulers in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, is one of Spain's most visited monuments, with carved plasterwork, courtyards and pools, and the Generalife gardens beside it. Granada fell in 1492, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, and the cathedral and Royal Chapel, with the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, mark that turning point.

Top-ranked sights in Granada: Generalife Gardens, Alhambra (Alhambra de Granada), Palace of Charles V (Palacio de Carlos V).
