The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex in Granada, Andalucía, in southern Spain. It is one of the best-known and best-preserved examples of Moorish architecture in Europe.

Some cities are lucky when it comes to location, Granada has been particularly fortunate, nestled between the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountain range and the tropical coast of Andalucia.

Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in Andalucía, Spain. The meaning of the Spanish name is "snow mountains". It contains the highest point in mainland Spain, Mulhacén, 3479 m above sea level.
