Welcome to Granada, Spain: An Introduction to the Beautiful City of Granada

These are a collection of pictures where I have spent my time studying in Granada, Spain. Each picture features a different part of the city.

A photo of the Centro de Lenguas Modernas, where international students come to learn the Spanish language! It's and extension of the University of Granada, and the staff is excellent! They are always wiling to help you with anything you need.

This is a hiking trail up to Sacromonte, a neighborhood in Granada. Here you'll find amazing views of the mountains and the old Abadia of Sacromonte.

Christmas lights are put up in plaza Bib-Rambla for the start of the holiday season!

Walking past Plaza Nueva, you'll find these small bridges and a river that runs over them.
Inside the Alhambra! The tour of the Alhambra not only revealed it's extensive history, but it's amazing architecture and detail as well!

In this photo is pictured Plaza Isabel. the statue in the center is Queen Isabel and Christopher Columbus. He is shown on one knee, asking for money to fund a trip across the sea.
