I use to say that Granada is a privileged place. The city is just few miles from Malaga and Costa del Sol, in the coast of Mediterranean, so it is possible to have great time in the summer (or even in other Seasons due great temperatures!).

A visit to the picturesque Albaicin was the great complement to my visit to the Alhambra. The charming old Moorish quarter is located on the hill opposite the Alhambra. The stoned narrow streets and whitewashed houses so typical of Andalusia were perfect for walking around. Driving in this part...
