Granada has been impressed in
the minds of many wishful travelers since the beginning of tourism, and many
who reach these golden streets agree that the image is forever branded in their
hearts. Granada's combination of
Moorish elegance and Renaissance architecture makes it a unique and fascinating
port of call. The famous Spanish quip is so completely true, discussing the
beauty of Granada in the words of
Francisco de Icaza: "There is nothing sadder in the world than to be blind
in Granada."
