Granada Day Trip
During a day trip to Granada, you can experience some of the city's storied history. Granada was originally referred to as Ilbyr. It was renamed Illibris by the Romans when they took occupation of it, and then renamed Granada in the eighth century after the area was retaken by Arabs. Under the reign of Isabel and Ferdinand, Granada was the last city reclaimed by the Spaniards.
Granada Day Trip Attractions
The influences of the past, however, have not disappeared from Granada. There are many architectural marvels you can find in Granada, including:
- The Alhambra
- The Royal Chapel, where you can find the tombs of Isabel and Ferdinand
- The Monastery of La Cartuja, which is an example of Moorish architecture
During your day trip to Granada, you may also want to visit one of the tererias or tearooms. You can find a number of tererias in the historic area of Albacin. A visit to the tererias, however, is not just about the herbal tea you will be sipping. The tererias are often decorated with subtle lighting, soft cushions, and low tables that make them at once elegant, exotic, and welcoming.
