Views Of Alhambra

The Alhambra Palace is one of the most visited sites in all of Spain. It was built by Muslim kings during the Moorish period and sits upon a hilltop in Granada. These photos were taken from a small square with spectacular views of the palace and the Sierra Nevada mountains. This square, called Mirador, is located across the river from the palace in a medieval neighborhood called the Albaicin, which is a world heritage site. I'm staying in the Albaicin  (Arab Quarter) in a house which was built circa 1450.
