- Granada, a city in Andalusia with a lot of history and mixed influences from the Moors, Jews and Catholics
This makes the city incredibly diverse and the city of Granada has managed to preserve this history very well.
From gipsy street musicians to flamenco dancing and from the beautiful Alhambra to all the delicious food, you can experience it all in this beautiful city.
I stayed for 4 days and I can tell you, Granada lived up to its expectations.
In this video we will show you all the ins and outs of Granada.

I stayed in the apartment Casa Miravalle Darro for 3 nights and it was absolutely perfect.
The location was really top notch!
The apartment is in the heart of Granada and from the balcony you can see the Alcazaba of Alhambra.
Plenty restaurants nearby and the best Flamenco show is around the corner.

I love granada ( Spain)

The dream of lands of Arabia
Spain is more beautiful than dream, Europe is like the garden of heaven
It is indeed very beautiful!

أرض احلام غرناطة العربية
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you! 😌
The best architecture of ALHAMBRA you didn't show it.... Which is something you couldn't Miss it....
Thanks for sharing 💐
Unfortunately, this is true. Just before I went to Granada, I found out that you have to buy tickets for some parts of Alhambra far in advance because otherwise they can be sold out. So in my case, this was the case and I made the best of it. This is also why I advise people in my video to buy the tickets on time and not to wait until a week before like I did. Thanks for your comment!
It was fine the way it is. There’s literally hundreds of videos on CZcams that when you’re looking for something about Granada they make Alhambra the “all be all”. Granada is just Alhambra and I personally needed to see what else is there besides Alhambra so I can plan my trip accordingly. This video convinced my husband that Granada is not a one day trip, there’s so much more than Alhambra (which was the only place he focused the time he was there at Granada).
Very true! This city has a lot more to offer then just the Alhambra 👌🏻
Excelent video! Hugs from Brazil!🇧🇷
Thank you very much! Appreciate it!
It was a very well prepared video 👏🏻Greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷
Thank you so much! Türkiye wonderful country 🇹🇷 Greetings 🤝🏻
What a beautiful video!!! ❤❤❤ I am in the process of planning my trip to Spain and my husband wasn’t too excited about Granada. This video convinced him it’s a must do!
Thank you!
Thank you so much! That’s one of the reasons I make these videos 😌 To help people with planning and choosing their next trip 👍🏻 I’m gonna look for the exact location of the place you asked in your other reaction 🤝🏻
Take a look at San Sebastian /Donostia.
Thank you for this tip! ✌🏻
By the way, that place across from Alhambra where you see the people playing the guitar, where is that? I need to see it and feel it when I go to Granada! Thank you! 🎉🎉
They are always playing at the “Mirador de San Nicolás” in front of the “Iglesia de San Nicolás”. If you put one of those in Google Maps you”ll find it 👍🏻 Enjoy your trip to Spain 🇪🇸
nice video
Thank you!
The founder of Granada was not a Berber Muslim. The city is more oldest. Iberians was here in 6 century BC. And of course Granada was a Roman city too.
I think they all played their own part in the history of Granada. That is why in the present, this beautiful city is so diverse 🤝
Les Ibères ils étaient pas là au 6 siècles avant JC .
Ils sont natif de la péninsule IBÉRIQUE depuis Toujours, et pas six siècles avant JC
That's right also the Umayyad Caliphate played an important role. They originated in Syria
The 800 year old development during Muslim rule was more advanced than Europe was at the time. Why @santiagoAmon finds it a hard pill to swallow is evidence to the hatred people have for Muslims. Despite the brainwashing of people against Muslims all you need to do is read the wonderful multiculturalism that was promoted by the rulers; the al inclusive jobs that were giving to Christians jews and Muslims. Btw Moors is a made up term by white people. Berber people and their were the Arabs for the syria area called the Umayyad.
Can you also mention the Arabs and the Umayyad Caliphate please!
This is not a request list. The video is the way I wanted it to be and as we know, I cannot and will not edit a video that is already posted on CZcams. Is it not to your liking be free to watch another video from another channel ✌🏻
Cartuja is equally good
I looked it up and it looks very beautiful! Definitely on my list for next time I'm near Granada 🤝🏻
Muslim country 900 years of freedom in Andalucia
Hi,
I am Belal hosen sarder.
From Bangladesh.
I want to come from in your country for # Granada (Spain)
Very dream country.
Pl's help me?
Pl's get me a tourist visa.
Sorry mate, I think you are in the wrong place for these questions. I am travel youtuber, not a government agency
We were here before 😔 We ruled Andalusia (Spain - Portugal) for eight centuries, during which we were at the height of the room, while Europe did not know the toilet.😔
Toilet? I don't know that expression. But none of us lived during that period. So we can only enjoy what's left of it and I personally think Granada has done a very great job to preserve its history!
@@ursusbrowntravel
I mean the dark ages in Europe while it was the golden age of Islam .. Although we did not live in that period, history tells us a lot about those past kingdoms. We grieve greatly over the loss of Andalusia.
ahhhh....so what happened to your great culture? Muslims can't stop killing each other, and people of other faiths!...Shia, or Sunni? Sharia Law, or Death. No reformation, like the other People of the Book! Yes, 600 years ago - was the end of a great culture, and for better...or for worse - Ferdinand and Isabella extinguished the Nasrid Dynasty, and your Islamic culture has never recovered...FACT!
@@adhamsaid6741Moi Espagnol jes suis très co ntent que mes ancêtres ont foutu DEHORS l'ocupant Musulmans des terres CHRÉTIENNES EUROPÉENNE

Chapter: A Man Marrying Off His Young Daughter
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
"The Messenger of Allah married me when I was seven years old, and he consummated the marriage with me when I was nine."
Grade: Sahih (Darussalam)
Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3256
The founder of Granada was a Berber Muslim The city has an Arab-Islamic character The Islamic influence is clear as the sun in it
👍🏻👍🏻
Cet faux ceux qui ont Construit grenade c'etai les Ibériques autochtones de la tribu Turdules bien avant la venue des Romains elle s'appelait liberis les Romains sont venu et ils ont appelé Granada cet le nom d'un fruit rouges avec des pépins , vous avez construit la Alhambra et construit sur la ville existante , mais vous n'avez pas créé GRANADA ville IBÉRIQUE CHRÉTIENNES ✝️🇪🇦
@@jojolafrite9265😅😅😅😅😅 In dreams, the Arab culture is very tyrannical and there is no denying this and evreyone knows it
That's false, Muslims have never created anything, and you just have to know a little history to see it. Greece with Alexander the Great left North Africa and the Middle East, then the Romans. Then came the Muslim expansion, they have an advantage over Christians, and that is that they can have multiple wives, and the birth rate has always been higher.
Muslims have always been nomadic peoples who organize themselves into clans. They conquered the Middle East and North Africa and expanded and absorbed technology and culture. The same thing happened in Spain.
Muslims always have a spiritual and religious leader who coincides with the political leader. In Christian kingdoms that does not work like that, and there is a separation of powers between the spiritual leader (pope) and the king who is the political leader and who often come into conflict.
Islam is anti-progress, they have never created anything, they have simply assimilated and transformed.
You just have to look at the Islamic countries today. The only semi-developed countries are so because they have materials that the West needs.
Spain before the Muslims was already a highly developed area, in the Roman Empire Emperors as important as Hadrian and Trajan came from here, and philosophers like Seneca.
There was no development here due to the arrival of the Muslims, the Muslims developed here due to the pre-existing culture. How many buildings like those from the Muslim era are there in Morocco? None, they did not bring here, rather they took them from here.
PLEASE! List the music used in this video. The Flamenco (Conte Jondo) guitar music is mesmerizing! - and practice the correct pronunciations, por favor!
What pronunciations are you talking about exactly? Because in my opinion, there is a good pronunciation used for a native English-speaking voice over. I'll get back to what music I used in this video later ✌🏻
