The Alhambra in Granada, Spain.

Christopher and I spent a summer exploring several European countries together. Despite traveling to many renowned sites, The Alhambra in the Andalucía region of Granada, Spain was certainly the highlight of our trip. We visited the site late in the day, toward sunset, during the scorching August heat, but we fell in love with the great Moorish influence seen in the architecture of the palace and the fortress. Granada itself is a beautiful city known for its gratis tapas and tasty sangria, and is quite different from the streets of either Madrid or Seville.
