Here we’ve scoured travel guides, spoke with experts and done some serious Instagram stalking to create this itinerary of the most breathtaking locations in southern Spain. TO/FROM: Malaga Airport In this road trip guide, you’ll begin your 300-mile journey at the Malaga airport. 1. Expansive Vista in Frigiliana “One of the most beautiful villages in Andalusia, Frigiliana cannot be skipped. Stroll the cobblestone streets and journey up to castle ruins that remain at the top of the village. From this spot, travelers can soak up spectacular panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding valleys. It’s easy to convince yourself that there’s no place better in the world.” 2. The Historic Alhambra & Generalife of Granada “The Alhambra is one of those places that really lives up to the hype. Located in the pretty town of Granada, this Moorish palace is a spectacular sight by day or by night!” Website: Plan your trip to the Alhambra & Generalife. Contributor: Suze is the Luxury Columnist one of the leading luxury lifestyle blogs. 3. The Dramatic Canyons below the King’s Little Pathway of El Chorro “The now revamped King’s Little Pathway (El Caminito del Rey) in Ardales, Andalucia was once known as the most dangerous walkway in the world. With dizzying heights and sheer drops this stunning walk, partly on the ground and partly suspended on the cliff face, is a must-do if you like nature and don’t mind heights!” Contributor: Rachel is a freelance writer and blogger at Andalucia Explorer. 4. The Mountaintop City of Ronda “Ronda is a stunning village perched dramatically above the El Tajo gorge overlooking the surrounding Andalusian countryside. Visitors from near and far come to enjoy the views from the town’s three bridges that are impressive architectural feats in their own right, the town’s bull ring (which is the oldest in Spain), and the Arab baths which are some of the best preserved in Europe. A visit would not be complete without dining at one of the town’s many restaurants with a view and enjoying a local meal of tapas or paella.” Website: Start planning your trip to Ronda. Contributor: Kirsten Maxwell is travel blogger at Kids Are A Trip. 5. Stunning Coast of Marbella “Marbella is a beautiful resort by the Mediterranean Sea, a perfect place to chill, soak up the sun and sample a variety of cuisines. Marbella is a must-visit for surfers too!” Contributor: Omar is a frequent traveler from Egypt. .

  • Guide of Granada

To adventure. To contemplation. To the body. To the mind. To fun. To culture. Open all year. Open to the world. Welcome The story of a name or a name for history 5TH CENTURY B.C.: the Turduli founded Elybirge. 2ND CENTURY B.C.: the Romans settled in Florentia Iliberitana. 1ST CENTURY: according to tradition, San Cecilio, the patron saint of the city, Christianised Iliberis. 7TH CENTURY: the Visigoths fortified Iliberia. 8TH CENTURY: the Arabs arrived in Ilvira. 11TH CENTURY: the Zirids moved their capital to Medina Garnata. 15TH CENTURY: Boabdil surrendered the keys of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs. Today, we still call this city GRANADA which, over its 25 century–history, has been the pride of all those who lived in it, defended it, those who lost it and those who won it. 25 centuries of inhabitants have given the city, apart from its different names, its multicultural nature, its diversity of monuments, religious and secular works of art, its roots and its sights and sounds only to be found in Granada. Iberians, Romans, Arabs, Jews and Christians have all considered this Granada to be their own, this Granada that is today the embodiment of diversity and harmonious coexistence. Since the 19th century, Granada has also been the perfect setting for those romantic travellers that had years on end free: the American Washington Irving, with his Tales of the Alhambra (1832), captivated writers, artists and musicians of his generation, telling them about that “fiercely magnificent” place that also fascinated Victor Hugo and Chateaubriand.

  • Manifiesto De La Alhambra English
    Fernando Chueca Goitia and others The Alhambra Manifesto (1953) Translated by Jacob Moore Word Count: 2,171 Source: Manifiesto de la Alhambra (Madrid, Dirección General de Arquitectura, 1953). Republished as El Manifiesto de la Alhambra: 50 años después: el monumento y la arquitectura contemporánea, ed. Ángel Isac, (Granada: Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife, Consejería de Cultura, Junta de Andalucía : Tf Editores, 2006) 356-375. We, the signers of this Manifesto, do not want to be pure iconoclasts, for we are already too weary of such abrupt and arbitrary turns. So people will say: “Why the need for a Manifesto, a term which, almost by definition, implies a text that is dogmatic and revolutionary, one that breaks from the past, a public declaration of a new credo?” Simply put, because reality, whose unequivocal signs leave no room for doubt, is showing us that the ultimate traditionalist posture, which architecture adopted after the war of Liberation, can already no longer be sustained and its tenets are beginning to fall apart. […] Today the moment of historical resurrections has passed. There is no use denying it; just as one cannot deny the existence of the Renaissance in its time or that of the nineteenth century archaeological revivals. The arts have tired of hackneyed academic models and of cold, lifeless copies, and seek new avenues of expression that, though lacking the perfection of those that are known, are more radical and authentic. But one must also not forget that the peculiar conditions implicit in all that is Spanish require that, within the global historical movement, we move forward, we would not say with a certain prudence, but yes, adjusting realities in our own way.
