🇪🇸Granada | The jewel of Andalusia, known as the "City of Pomegranates"

#Introducing stunning views from overseas Located in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, Granada is the "City of Pomegranates," where the breath of Moorish culture with its long history still remains. This land where Islam, Christianity, and Judaism intersect is colored by cultural diversity and architectural beauty, and is one of the most attractive cities in Spain. It is also known as the location for the world-famous drama "Game of Thrones," and its fantastical scenery makes you feel like you are traveling through a story. ■ Alhambra Palace | Alhambra A symbolic building of Granada, built by the Moors in the 13th century.
