This is the book I've decided to read: Tales of the alhambra by Washington Irving. Although I was looking for a Spanish writer at first, I quickly discovered that Granada's most well-known writer, Garcia Lorca, wrote mostly poetry and plays and I felt more like reading stories and essays. Irving actually lived inside the Alhambra for a while where he no doubt got the inspiration for writing this book. He is a famous figure in the city of Granada and you can see references to his stay here in many places. It is not a book that I would have picked myself probably as the title seems a little cheesy, but it is supposed to be good so I'm confident that it will be an enjoyable read.
