...I finally went to see the site. Its amazingly beautiful and you just feel at peace there (if you can ignored the 5000 other visitors). Especially liked the gardens and the decorated ceilings in the palaces. We were very lucky with the weather, sun and warm for a mountain city this time a year. I will definately vote for this to be one of the new seven wonders of the world.

A tip: Book your tickets in advance on the internet www.alhambratickets.com – it will save you a lot of queqing time and then you are sure to get a morning ticket (only a certain amount of visitors per day are allowed).
