An ancient Andalucían city in Granada province where Phoenician, Roman, Moorish and Christian layers stack up in a single historic centre, from a ruined Roman theatre discovered under a car park to a cathedral four centuries in the making.

A Moorish stronghold whose fall in 1482 triggered the final war of the Reconquista, Alhama de Granada still carries its history in the gorge, the Gothic-Renaissance church and the Roman baths that gave the town its name.
An ancient Mediterranean port city in Granada's province, layered with Phoenician, Roman, and Moorish history, where a great fortress once blown up by the British still watches over a coastline of tropical fruit groves and fresh seafood.
A high mountain village in Granada's Alpujarra, once the seat of an ancient Moorish district and the flashpoint of a morisco uprising that shook the Kingdom of Granada.
