Recently I was lucky enough to be able to see the magnificent Alhambra in person. This Moorish masterpiece is located in the jewel of a city, Granada. Do you know how everything is starting to look more and more similar? KFC's in Bangkok, McDonald's in Paris, Starbucks just about everywhere. To me, when I get to see something completely unique (or at least completely new to me) I find it pretty exciting. This is one of the reasons why the Alhambra was amazing - I had never seen anything like it before. I don't really believe in "must-see"/"must-do" lists because everyone has their own sense of what a vacation should be, but if you're interested in history, architecture, gardens, or really delicious food then Granada would be a perfect destination, and perched on top of a hill within Granada is the Alhambra.
