Discover the past and enjoy the present. This can be witnessed everywhere in its architecture and rich cultural history kept alive with passion; the tasty cuisine; the resonating sound of Flamenco music played into the night; the blending of Islam and Christianity. Historically, Granada is the last redoubt of the Moorish Kingdom in Western Europe. The world famous Alhambra and the Genera life are examples of the splendour of this civilisation. It was in Granada in 1492 that Christopher Columbus received the support he needed and a Charter from Queen Isabela to seek a new route to India which ended up with the discovery of the Americas! In the shadow of the Cathedral, the resting place of the Catholic monarchs, Isabela and Ferdinand, you can visit the Medina, the Moroccan market of shops and tetarías (tea shops) set in a maze of narrow alleyways. Or, visit the unique Sacromonté ‘gipsy barrio’, heart of the “Flamenco puro”, enjoy a different people with their passion for music and dance, and see their cave houses. Granada has an exceptional geography, a magical valley, midway between the warm sea and the high mountains: 45 minutes by car from Mediterranean beaches, 75 minutes from Malaga, and 30 minutes from the Sierra Nevada ski resort at a height of 3,400 metres (11,050ft). Experience the soul of Spain in Andalucía: the Pasos of Semana Santa – Easter week – depicting the Passion of Christ, first created for a medieval audience. A Paso: huge and heavy statues of Christ, Saints and the Virgin Mary, carried on the shoulders of Costaleros, that process from the many churches around Granada, through the streets and into the Cathedral, then back to their home church (some take 14 hours!). The Cofradía, an ancient brotherhood, adorn these statues, especially the Virgin Mary, each year and also take part in the processions. They are dedicated to keeping alive this celebration, the parades of Navidad (Christmas) and of the Three Kings Day. Sample Andalucía food! Typical dishes in Andalucía are simple but extraordinarily tasty. Try Gazpacho: the famous cold soup, a vegetable cream made of tomato, cucumber, paprika, garlic, olive-oil and vinegar served with bread; Pescado Frito: fish lightly coated with flour and sautéed in olive oil; Huevos a la Flamenca: a fried egg in tomato sauce with Chorizo (spicy Spanish sausage); Patatas Pobre: a “hot pot” made of potatoes and vegetables and of course, Paella! Enjoy the daily social experience of “tapas”, a famous Andaluz tradition, at one of the infinite number of bars in the city; an enjoyable way to get to know people - not just to have a drink.
