In reply to Gayla. It's beautiful and quite surprising, even if you're prepared for it, no?

Great photos! The Alhambra is one of the most amazing sites in Spain and was a highlight of our trip. I’d love to visit again, the beauty and history are astounding. It just breathes history…

True for the Moors; but not the Nasrid dynasty specifically. At their height they only controlled about 60% of the Iberian peninsula and for much of their reign “control” is a term that could be loosely applied from what I understand. Also true that giving up Seville didn’t save Granada in the end, only extended a losing cause. I can dig up the books I read and would be interested in any sources you could recommend.

And thankfully the Alhambra survived the attempts at blowing it up so we can enjoy it today 🙂
