La
Alhambra, Jewel of the Spanish Past by Timothy Tye
La Alhambra, whose name
means "The Red" in Arabic, is the most beautiful representation of Moorish
architecture in the world. It is a palace and fortress complex on the hills
of Sabika, overlooking the city of Granada, in southern Spain....
Granada
and Beyond by Edward Kirwan
Granada, in the east of
Andalusía, is a city steeped in Moorish tradition. The Alhambra
Palace which was recently short listed as a Seventh Wonder of the new world,
is truly wondrous but there is so much more to see and do..

El Chorro
is a limestone gorge in Andalucia in southern Spain, through which passes
the Guadalhorce river. It was dammed in 1921, forming three reservoirs
which are flanked by pine forests with beautiful picnic areas, swimming
and boating.
The area is most famous as
being one of the best rock climbing areas in Europe, but is also
very popular for mountain biking, hiking, and camping. It's sitting
next to the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, a narrow pass having 700m height
in some points with a very dangerous path called Caminito del Rey (King's
little path). The path took its name because the official opening was taken
by Alfonso XIII of Spain. This path was closed in 2000 after one tourist
died trying to cross it. It has since been renovated and reopened. |
