ALHAMBRA
Something very surprising about the Alhambra is to discover that it is not a palace or a group of palaces. It was an independent big city which was begun to be built in the year 1238. It has a walled area of 100.000 m2 (119.600 square yards), divided in three different quarters which is inside a productive zone of 500 hectares (1235 acres). So the Alhambra was, and still is in a kind of way, a whole territory. You can find lovely gardens, original orchards of the 13th Century, amazing views over Granada and astonishing palaces which will seduce you with their magnificent beauty.
