Vincent Poon :: Granada (12th July 2006)
From Sevilla it takes 3 hours by train, from Madrid its takes 6 hours, from Barcelona it takes over 13 hours... Granada is not very near to anywhere. Yet there is still a reason to go to Granada: La Alhambra. Described as 'One of the places to visit before you die', Alhambra  combines the use of space, light, water and craftmanship together to form one of the best islamic architectures found in Europe. Besides Alhambra, Granada is also very historically significant: It is the last Moorish stronghold before driven out by the Catholics Monarch in 1492 , so lots of Islamic influences are still left behind in this European city today.
