About Granada, Spain
Easily one of Spain's most enchanting cities, Granada is a city of culture, history and legend.
In 1492, after more than 700 years of Muslim occupation, the Christians took Granada, the final stronghold of a once glorious empire. Subsequently, the Spanish monarchy exiled Boabdil, the last Moorish King of Granada, from his exquisite palace: La Alhambra. As he was leaving the city, Boabdil - a strong, sturdy and proud leader - began to weep.
This legend and image of a powerful leader, brought to his knees by his lament for a city, riches and beauty lost, has gone down in countless history books, works of art, and poems. What sort of magic could a city contain to diminish such a man?
Along with Spain's most visited attraction, the sumptuous Arabic palaces of La Alhambra, and a profound history that encompasses the very history of Spain itself, Granada is also a modern city. Known for its nightlife, friendly inhabitants and abundant tapas, Granada is a beautiful city nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains just 45 minutes from the Costa Tropical.
Not quite European, characterized by Moorish architecture and the gypsy "Albaicín" quarter, but not quite Oriental, with its Renaissance cathedral and traditional Andalusian cuisine and tapas culture, Granada is one of the truly unique cities of the world. A dynamic city full of contrasts, you can enjoy ski slopes and beaches, outdoor terraces and frenetic nightclubs, modern amenties and centuries-old architecture.
Come study abroad in Granada and revel in the sights, the atmosphere and the history!
