When we entered the alhambra complex we first went to the "Generalife". These are buildings surrounded by beautiful gardens, and because all of the alhambra is located on a hill overlooking Granada there are many stunning views of the city as well. In the picture is one of the first things you saw when walking on the outskirts of the garden. To the left are some of the alhambra fortress towers and the old Muslim quarter of Granada, "El Albayzin", can be seen down below. Behind that are some mountains, all of Granada lies in a valley partially surrounded by the Sierra Nevada. Apparently you can ski just 30 minutes from here and the beach is about 30 minutes as well.
