The city of Granada in southern Spain is a world famous city. Wonder why? It is where Spain's highest peak, The Sierra Nevada, proudly stands. This marvelous city is deemed to be the home of the world famous Spanish paella and the Alhambra, a string of
breathtaking palaces and
colorful gardens built around the fourteenth century.
The city's present name traces back its origin from its Arab invaders centuries ago. It was actually the last city conquered by the Christians in 1492. The city had encountered successive historical invasions commencing from the prehistoric era, to the mighty Roman conquerors, and up to the more powerful Arab invaders. That is why present day's Granada is a vivid manifestation of the various cultures, heritage, and history, fused altogether from these successive invasions.
This amazing fusion truly makes this city abound with brilliant jewels. Shining radiantly is the Alhambra, a chain of palaces and gardens erected at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Other jewels include the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the highest mountain range in Spain, the Spanish paella, and classic architectural designs and arts, which make wonderful Granada a
mysterious ancient city.
