Granada


Kizoa slideshow: Granada - Slideshow


Granada (pomegranate in English) is a wonderful city.  When exploring different study abroad locations, I ultimately was deciding between Granada and Sevilla.  After seeing Granada, I know that both choices would have made me equally happy. 

In my opinion, the buildings and streets of Seville are more aesthetically pleasing, but Granada has a beautiful setting in the mountains.  Sometimes I felt as though I were in a forest instead of a city. 

Granada also has more culturally interesting environment since it was the last Muslim city to be conquered by the Christians in 1492 (yes, I am learning in my history culture class J).  There are tons of Arab art, music, and food.  The Alhambra is also one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen. Granada also has less Americans in the city than Sevilla (a major plus).

Basically a college city, Granada has a very fun night life.  The bars are very lively, offering a drink with tapas for only 2 euros!  There’s a really fun street in Granada packed with bars, where everyone goes at night to enjoy the 2 euro deal.
