The number one reason folk come to Granada is La Alhambra and after a visit of my own, it's easy to see why. The last stronghold of the Moors in Spain, the palace itself is remarkably intact - apparently the Christians found it so beautiful they couldn't bear to destroy it ... a sentiment I'd definitely agree with. Almost every surface of the huge stronghold is intricately carved, and leads through so many beautiful rooms, chambers, halls and courtyards it's hard to keep track. It's truly an amazing place - if you ever get the chance to go, don't pass it up ... a fair few of the Busabout kids did just that and I'll be definitely making them rue their decision when I catch up with them down the road tonight.
