The Granada province is home to the highest mountains in Andalucia (in the Sierra Nevada) and to their south are the enchanting Las Alpujarras valleys. Granada´s skyline is dominated by the Alhambre palace-fortress and the Albyzin , Granada´s old Islamic quarter, are a must see on any visit to Andalucia. The climate in Granada is very pleasant, especially in spring and autumn. Its greeness is a delight in an often parched Andalucia.
