Previous to spend holidays with family, made a brief stop in Grenada, and we had not yet been. If you are visiting do not forget to buy tickets in advance. Just being winter there were many people.
The Alhambra is a walled city on a hill in Granada, constructed from entering the city of Mohamed-Ben-Nasr in 1238, which as usual were added rooms and walls during the reign of the successive sultans of the Muslim kingdom until its conquest. 
A variety of rooms that carry through the various facets of Andalusian art, which stands as usual the detail in the decoration mosaics and-especially in this case-reliefs. 
The icon of the Alhambra is the Court of the Lions, built by Mohammed V, but today is under the patio (ppuro scaffold) and the lions are elsewhere and not return. On the one hand good for conservation but bad for the loss of effect, what he was seeing it while they were still at the source, it was not long ago. They leave to take pictures of lions where they are, so we compensate with an engraving.
