Spain
Granada
Granada is the Alhambra and free tapas — Moorish palaces above a city that still gives you food with a drink.
Granada is Andalusia's most romantic city — the Alhambra palace-fortress on a hill, the Moorish Albaicín quarter, and the last Spanish city where a drink still comes with free tapas. Book the Alhambra months ahead; it's the reason to come. The Sierra Nevada mountains rise behind.
