Through the cobbled and narrow streets of the charming and mythical neighborhood of Albayc\u00edn<\/strong>, in the city of Granada (Andalusia, Spain) we find the famous Mirador de San Nicol\u00e1s<\/strong>, which gets its name from the church that, like us, contemplates the spectacular panoramic views of the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alhambra, whose name comes from the Arabic “qa’lat al-Hambra<\/strong>” which means “Red Castle”, given by its reddish walls -although some historians suggest that the name comes from its founder Abu al-Ahmar whose name means “The Red One\u201d because he was redheaded- is a walled complex whose first signs of its existence date back to the 9th century, when the city belonged to the Umayyad Caliphate of C\u00f3rdoba<\/strong>, kingdom of al-Andalus<\/strong>. Strategically positioned on the al-Sabika hill, it was an unbreakable fortress. Al-Andalus was the name by which the Muslims called the Iberian Peninsula during their reign between 711 and 1492<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
