Here under Spain - Southwestern Tour - Day 4, you will find travel information for that day, with all the practical information including the opening hours and addresses of the different attractions.
Visit the gorgeous Alhambra. Inside, admire the Alcazaba with its ramparts and several towers all remain of the citadel. From one of these towers, the Torre de la Vela, you will have a splendid views.
The Palacio Nazaries, that is the Alhambra's true gem, is the most brilliant Islamic building in Europe with its
perfectly proportioned rooms and courtyards, intricately moulded stucco walls, beautiful tiling and much more.
Keep going your Alhambra's visit discovering the Palacio de Carlos V, a huge Renaissance palace which contains a surprising circular, two-tiered courtyard with 32 columns. You will leave the Alhambra crossing the Generalife, a soothing composition of pathways, patios, pools, fountains, trimmed hedges, tall trees and, in season, flowers of every imaginable hue.
After this visit, walk in the Granada's old town and see the Royal chapel, Granada's most outstanding Christian building.
Continue visiting the Gothic-Renaissance cathedral and finish your Granada's tour by discovering the Muslim quarter, the Albayzin, with its fascinating alleys.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
