This mystical city of Granada stretches across the foot of the majestic mountains of Sierra Nevada, Andalusia, Spain and has a history of more than 1000 years. It derives its name either from the Spanish granada (\u201cpomegranate\u201d), a profusely available fruit and a symbol of victory over the Moors of Al-Andalus which is also a part of the Spanish flag even today, or from Karnattah (Gharn\u0101\u1e6dah), its Moorish name, meaning \u201chill of strangers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Moors ruled over Granada for over 800 years and their rich legacy is reflected in the ancient mausoleum of Alhambra, an Islamic masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Granada is popular for its Tapas, the only place where drinks come with free food. Among the other key highlights are the quaint teter\u00edas or tearooms which serve delicious pancakes, smoothies, pastries, crepes, and fill the Albaycin streets with the intoxicating aroma of 80 different varieties of tea. The city takes pride in its rich culture and boasts of the monumental churches, royal palaces, offbeat bohemian cafes, Tapas bars with traditional Arabic music, and museums with medieval Islamic architecture dating back to the Moorish era.<\/p>\n

Granada has something unique to offer throughout the year. The best time to visit Granada is Spring when one can mark their calendars for cultural festivals and the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, just perfect to explore the different monuments and museums on foot. September- November are also ideal times as Granada winters are quite romantic and adventurous. Though the temperature at times drops to minus 0, skiing down the slow clad Sierra Nevada is an unmatched experience.<\/p>\n

Avoid visiting Granada during July – August, in peak summers as the excruciating summer heat and temperature rise makes touring around the city very uncomfortable.December- March and June-September are off seasons in Granada and heavy discounts can be availed on food, tickets, and local souvenirs.<\/p>\n

Packing For Granada<\/h2>\n

The summers are toasty and winters, snowy. What to pack greatly depends on what time of the year you visit the city. For summers, beat the Spanish heat by packing comfy, casual pants and tops made of breathable material, a pair of sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid getting a tan. Winters call for layers, fleece jackets, waterproof shoes, thermals, and boots for both fashion and to survive the low temperatures.The best way to explore the city is walking through the cobbled streets of Spain and for that carrying a pair of walking shoes is a must if you don\u2019t want to twist your ankles.<\/p>\n

The mosques have a particular dress code \u2013 Long sleeve shirts or blouses, scarves for women, socks, and trousers that cover the knees. Pack these to seek entry into the gorgeous Mezquita de Granada and marvel at Islamic craftsmanship. Lastly, don\u2019t forget to pack your cameras when visiting this picturesque city.<\/p>\n
