I ate at a pizza shop and was starving, but the food was terrible. I couldn't eat after 2 bites. Later, I ate 4 euros of seafood rice in a small alley. It was delicious, but a little small. You are on your own from the Plaza, which is a pretty good place. The square is big, you don't need to queue and the price is relatively cheap...

Generalife薄薄雾如沙The Alhambra Palace is divided into four major areas, one of which is the Henri Lorefi Garden, commonly known as the "Summer Palace". It was built in the 13th century and renovated by King Abu I Walid Ismail. It is designed to trim flowers and trees in various geometric shapes, stacked around two courtyards, and the courtyards are connected by canals. The canal adopts the commonly used Arabic rectangle, with a row of water nozzles on each side. When the gate is opened, the water column forms an arch, and the water droplets sparkle in the sun, creating a cool and refreshing atmosphere.
