In Spain, they visited the Alhambra Palace, a stunning Arab castle, with columns, flower beds spread out on the walls, fountains right in the middle of the courtyard. It is located in Granada, this is the South-Eastern part of Spain. The palace can be reached by taxi, the trip will cost about 8 euros for two, by bus, or on foot. The walk will be anywhere from 30 minutes or longer, depending on where you start your journey. You will have to climb up a steep hill, so it will be quite a tiring journey. Especially in the summer, when it's hot. By the way, it is better to book tickets to the castle in advance, because there are restrictions on the number of people per day. The palace does not look as impressive from the outside as it does from the inside. The building dates back to about the 14th century, it is a museum of Islamic culture.

It is divided into several parts, but I would like to especially note Mekhuar, this is the oldest part of the complex. This is where the ministers met.
The Mechouara Hall is the first hall, inside the walls are decorated with ornaments, as well as a coat of arms on the wall. Ceiling from the 16th century. The chapel, the Golden Room, is especially good. Inside there are painted walls, arches, which are also painted. We even lingered, considering all this beauty. Myrtle Courtyard is a courtyard with a marble pool in the middle. By the way, there are a lot of tourists here. We also visited the Palace of the Lions, the palace of the two sisters. Just to describe, you really need to go to see all this beauty with your own eyes. It took us to inspect everything-everything, attention! more than 7 hours. After such an excursion, we could no longer see anything.
