Granada is home to the Sierra Nevada Mountain range(yes same name as the ones in the states) and the famous Alhambra Palace. It is said that if you have died without seeing the Alhambra, you have not lived. While the Moor built palace was worth the visit (although similar to the free student admission Royal Alcarzar Palace in Seville) I think the saying is a little over the top. I did really enjoyed seeing the amazing detail and craftsmanship that went into this exquisite palace while at the same getting a glimpse of the Moorish architecture more common in Morocco and parts of the middle east. Granada is a beautiful place with a laid back atmosphere and free Tapas with the purchase of any $2.00 drink at the bar. As our last small town stop in Spain before heading to Barcelona, Granada was a great place to relax and meet some cool people and seems like it would be a great place to live with a similar charm to that of Seville.
