Along the beauty of the City of Granada, Spain
executive summary by Stanley Subari from Irfan Prabudiansyah
Continuing the story about the trip in Andalusia, this time I will explore a little about the beauty of the city of Granada. Yupz, the third day in spain we spent in a small town located on the south side of this madrid. Departing from Barcelona Girona airport and travel for 1 hour and 30 minutes to Granada. We arrived in Granada around 7 am.
Brrr ... the morning temperature quite cold here, not as warm in Barcelona. But this is so is reasonable because Granada is located near the mountains Sierrra Nevada. Although already in the spring but it still looks white mountains covered with snow. He said the hell, the Sierra Nevada this is almost always covered with snow all year, except during summer times yes.
From the airport we headed straight to the hostel which is located not far from downtown. Hostel that we were headed was not far from Albaijn, at first glance like a settlement where the Arabs. Shades of the middle east so feel here. This is not surprising, because the city of Granada was first included in the territory of the Islamic Caliphate Andalusia. Here we also find a mosque, hehe. This is the first mosque which we discovered during a trip in spain.

After storing the goods in the hostel, we were immediately looking for a restaurant for breakfast, and where we are heading in none other than the turkish kebab
Visited tourist attractions in Granada is La Alhambra. Alhambra is the symbol of Granada, obligatory place to visit, hehe. Alhambra is a palace and fortress that is the legacy of Islamic Caliphate. Alhambra was built during the reign of the dynasty nasrid the mid 14th century. This makes Granada as one of the cultural center and most beautiful tourist cities in Spain.
Alhambra itself comes from the Arabic word which means red. So named because at night the building looked reddish. We visited the Alhambra Palace in the afternoon. Actually there are two scheduled visits to Al Hambra this, the visit of the morning until noon and afternoon until evening. After waiting for 3 hours, we finally get into the Alhambra exactly at 10 pm in the evening.
