Standing on a hill overlooking Granada, the Alhambra means "red fortress." With its delicate mosaics and manicured gardens, it is said to be one of the most beautiful Islamic buildings in the world.
White Village Mijas
Among the white villages dotting the Andalusia region, Mijas is especially popular. Lined with charming houses, the village is also well supplied with restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops.
