Grenade
Welcome to Grenade
Grenade, nichée au pied de la Sierra Nevada, abrite des merveilles historiques telles que l'Alhambra, un joyau incontournable à visiter. L'ancien quartier musulman de l'Albaicín, avec ses maisons blanchies à la chaux, se dévoile à travers ses ruelles sinueuses qui grimpent la colline. La ville s'éveille le soir dans les bars et les bistrots de flamenco, où chaque verre est accompagné d'une savoureuse assiette de tapas.
