Granada is a city and the capital of the province of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. The city of Granada is placed at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at the confluence of three rivers, Beiro, Darro and Genil, at an elevation of 738 metres above sea level yet only one hour from the Mediterrean coast, the Costa Tropical. At the 2005 census, the population of the city of Granada proper was 236,982, and the population of the entire urban area was estimated to be 472,638, ranking as the 13th-largest urban area of Spain. About 3.3% of the population did not hold Spanish citizenship, the largest number of these (31%) coming from South America. Its nearest airport is Federico García Lorca Airport. The Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is one of the most famous items of the Islamic historical legacy that makes Granada a hot spot among cultural and tourist cities in Spain. The Almohad urbanism with some fine examples of Moorish and Morisco constructions is preserved at the part of the city called the Albaicín. Granada is also well-known within Spain due to the prestigious University of Granada and, nowadays, vibrant night-life. In fact, it is said that it is one of the three best cities for university students (the other two are Salamanca and Santiago de Compostela).[citation needed]

5. The Cities to See in Spain
March 05, 2010
Below you will find a list of some of the better Spanish cities I've visited outside of Madrid, with a short commentary on each:
Granada- Old city with heavy Arabic influence definitely worth a visit. Check out the Alhambra, the Albaicin (the old Arab quarter), the Turkish baths, and the main drag off of the main plaza. Most bars give out free tapas if you purchase a drink (even soda), and the tapas in Granada are much better than those in Madrid. The nightlife in Granada is famous and most clubs don't close down until after 7 AM. There is a cool club called Kamborio in the Albaicin and a... (read more)

10. Driving around the South of Spain
February 17, 2010
This year I have decided that I would like to have a holiday which is slightly different to what I usually go for. I often book a last minute package holiday and stay in one place for a week, but I feel that maybe it's time I travelled around a bit and saw more of the destination that I have chosen to visit. The destination for this year's holiday? The south of Spain, Malaga to be precise, but I think it would be great if I could explore a little further afield than seeing just this coastal region alone.
So what are the travel options in the region? There are trains and buses which co... (read more)

12. Isaac Albeniz. Guitar Strings to Heartstrings
February 02, 2010
How often we relax to the quintessential Hispanic melodies of Isaac Albeniz. His Rapsodia Espanola, Sevilla and Granada, based on Catalan folk songs, are perhaps the better known of his many compositions. These lovely melodies evoke the Spanish dream more than could any Goya painting; but what of the man behind the music? Like most composers his life was as notable as was his music.
Born in Camprodon in Catalonia (1860) this virtuoso prodigy first performed on the piano at the age of just four-years old. Such talent and precociousness. Could a possible explanation be his having being rei... (read more)

14. Boys Lives at Risk: Is the Buddy System the Answer?
February 01, 2010
Another headline, another unfolding tragedy for parents of a teenage boy caught in a mesh that kills more young men than are killed in wars. Take any classroom picture in which the boys are equal in number to the girls; the chances of the boys living long enough to pick up their pension are far lower than it is for the young women.
Statistically boys are more likely to fall victim to sexual predators than are girls. Adding to the high risk gauntlet that nature obliges them to navigate, boys from the age of ten become over confident risk-takers. Many are drawn to dangerous pursuits, blithe... (read more)
