Granada is a Spanish city belonging to the autonomous community of Andalusia. This city was inhabited by Muslims for decades until the conquest of the Catholic Monarchs, which left behind great architectural works that are still preserved and are an icon of the city. Among its most important monuments, we find the Alhambra of Granada and the Generalife, the Palace of Carlos V, the Cathedral of Granada and the Royal Chapel, where the remains of Isabel de Castilla and Fernando de Aragón rest. Among its places of interest are also the Barrio del Albaicín, the Sacromonte, the Mirador de San Nicolás, the Cármenes, the zambras, the tea houses and, of course, the tapas, where Serrano ham and virgin olive oil have a starring role. In addition, Granada is part of the so-called tropical crust due to its special climate that allows it to grow exotic foods such as mangoes, avocados or custard apples.
