The Best of Spain - Granada
Granada, the last city reconquered in 1492 by Catholic monarchs, Queen Isabel of Castille and her husband Ferdinand of Aragon, is the Moorish jewel of Spain. Staying at an impressive resort hotel near the Alhambra Palace, I took a morning walk to explore the awe-inspiring Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens. The Alhambra (meaning the red or crimson castle) complex was begun in the 9th cent., modified by Mohammad III in the 13th cent., and much later by Charles V. It was abandoned by the last Moorish ruler, Boabdil, who was castigated by his mother for weeping in shame for losing beautiful Alhambra, "Now weep like a woman for what you cannot defend like a man." One of Granada's oldest districts, the Albaicín, was declared a World Heritage Site, together with the Alhambra and the Generalife. At the city center stands the Gothic Cathedral of Santa María de la Encarnación (1523-1703), which contains La Capilla Real (The Royal Chapel), and the Royal mausoleum of Isabel and Ferdinand, who chose to be buried in Granada because they saw its conquest as the crowning achievement of their reign.
