Two weeks ago, our school took my peers and I to a weekend trip to the beautiful city Granada, about three hours away from Seville. Unlike other cities in Spain, Granada has a tremendous Arabic influence (until today) that can be seen in the city's culture and people. Our visit took us to the Alhambra, a beautiful and architecturally outstanding palace/fortress and the Royal Chapel of Granada where King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile are buried. The history of Granada is very interesting because it is the last city to be conquered by the Catholic kings, Ferdinand II and Isabella. In addition, Granada has diverse eateries that ranges from Spanish to Arabic food. It also has various tea houses that offer tasteful teas and colorful restaurant interiors. In addition, there are stores everywhere you go and street artists are stationed in every corner of the streets. The people are also very friendly and fun to talk to. The nightlife in Granada is also fantastic and is wide awake; lights are everywhere and the Alhambra can be seen so clearly. Granada is definitely worth the visit and I can't wait to go back!
