Granada was the last city to fall to the Christians in 1492. It has many wonderful buildings from this time including the Cathedral with the Royal chapel, the Monastery of La Cartuja and many churches built in the unique 'Mudejar' style. The hill facing the Alhambra is the old Moorish casbah, called the Albaicin, a maze of narrow streets and whitewashed houses with inner courtyards, all beautifully tiled. At its highest point is the Plaza de San Nicolas, famous for its splendid view of the Alhambra palace. The Palace is often hailed as the most exciting, sensual and romantic of all European monuments. The ski resort of Pradollano has 87km of pisted slopes and being a modern resort plenty of snow machines. The resort base is at 2100m with the top station at 3300m.
