La Alhambra, Granada, Spain

Perched on a rocky hill overlooking Granada, this Muslim fortress comprises a huge complex of six palaces. Its stunning Moorish art and architecture, lovely courtyards, gardens, and furnishings, as well as an interesting water supply system and living quarters made it a major highlight of our month in Spain. We spent a whole day there. For more details of our European adventures, check out my book Ramblings & Roundabouts: An American Couple's Travels in Europe - Mostly by Motorhome.

How to visit Córdoba

Córdoba is a city that surprised me and I would definitely return if I could. There is so much to do there, both the major attractions and the little curiosities you find along the way. I loved that it didn’t feel as busy as Sevilla, instead providing a relaxed vibe with a charming blend of old and new. A second visit might see me exploring the Jewish quarter more, and looking into this aspect of the city’s history. #cordoba #spanishtravel #andalusia
