Province & Villages - Granada
Granada information
Granada spain
Like a torrent, the city descends from its peak, forming on
the plain a sea of unknown yet familiar ports. Hills such
as San Miguel, el Sol or Valparaíso, the scared mountain,
the baroque Gólgota and that mysterious combination
known as Sacromonte.
On the same hill, but towards the vega, on the mount
across which slants the setting sun, sits the Albaicín.
Here is a city within a city which, once the slope drops down
to calle Elvira, gives way to Granada's most symbolic Christian
images.
Another hill, la Sabica, preserve on this peak the Alhambra
itself, while on its shady side towards the river Genil, it
supports the barrio of the Churra, stretching towards the
east via the fuente del Avellano and the cuesta de los Chinos. On the opposite bank, towards the south, its
slopes dip to the Antequeruela and then on to the Realejo
and the Campo del Príncipe. Indeed, what would be Granada
without its hills?
