Granada is a city rich in Spanish tradition and culture and has attractions that date back to the mid-11th century such as the Moorish Fortress, the Alhambra Palace, where visitors are invited to roam freely through the beautiful gardens or take a guided tour to find out more about each part of the strikingly detailed rooms of the palace. Granada is also a popular tourist attraction because of the Sierra Nevada mountain range that allows visitors and residents of the Costa del Sol to take a trip to the snowy mountains, lasting less than 2 hours. Sierra Nevada has plenty of ski schools that offer lessons to beginners whilst the advanced skiers/snowboarders can take the opportunity to visit the more technical black and off pieces slopes, on the other hand, if you'd rather just admire the work of the skiers, the number of après-ski cafés, hotels and restaurants will keep you busy for the time being. Lastly, an unforgettable reason to visit Granada is for its famous flamenco shows and tapas bars, that will keep the whole family entertained for days if you are visiting, and if you are a resident of the properties in Granada then you will have the chance to find out more about the hidden secrets of this gorgeous city.
