The spectacular Alhambra Palace is a poignant epitaph to the tirumph of the Catholic Monarchs and the despair of the defeated Moors who still mourn its loss. With imposing towers and halls, rooms decorated with lacy carvings, colored tiles and gold mosaics, courtyards with fountains and hidden gardens smelling of jasmin, it is unparalalled in Europe.
In Granada’s cathedral the victors lie beneath tombs in the Royal Mausoleum. Hotels are Alhambra palace Hotel (Pena Partida), Luz Granada Hotel (Avenida Calvo Sotelo 34), Melia Granada (Angel Ganivet 5), and Washington Irving Hotel (Bosque de la Alhambra).
