When to go to Granada?
Granada wears the Alhambra like a crown, its golden walls catching the late light above the rooftops, with the cool green terraces of the Generalife just below. Steep lanes in the Albaicín carry the smell of jasmine and mint tea, and flamenco runs late into the night in the Sacromonte caves. The peaks of the Sierra Nevada close the horizon.
