Grenada

Granada is located at the entrance to the Sierra Nevada Natural Park. Here is Europe's southernmost ski resort and Spain's highest point, Mulhacén (3.498m).

In 1492, the emir lost the war against the Spanish royal house and was forced to relinquish control of Granada. Incidentally, it was the same year that Columbus discovered America with the support of the Spanish royal house.

It was part of the peace agreement that the city's inhabitants could continue to practice their Muslim religion.

But a few years later, the citizens of Granada were also given the choice between converting to Christianity or leaving Spain.

Most chose to convert, few (the wealthiest) chose to leave the country and settle in northern Africa.

With the conquest of Granada, the Spanish Christian royal house had completed the possession of the Iberian peninsula by the Moors and founded Spain.

Granada with the castle of the Alhambra is Spain's largest tourist attraction.

The 700 years under Moorish rule are clearly labeled even after so many years.

The city is worth a visit.

Even in January there were many tourists.

 By far most Chinese people
