Grenada (pop. 290 000)
Grenada is, together with Sevilla, perhaps the most famous of the Andalusian cities, with its main attraction being the Alhambra Palace. The palace was built by the last great Moorish rulers in the 14th century and is a breathtakingly beautiful example of Arab architectural ingenuity. The construction is fine preserved since the fall of the last Moorish Kingdom (the Nazari) in 1492, and has been declared a World Heritage by UNESCO. Grenada is home to a multitude of other historical treasures, many of them nestled into every-day life, such as the neighborhood hosting the Medieval Arab Medina or Cashbah, a myriad of compressed white-washed houses and small, meandering streets.
