Die Alhambra [aˈlambɾa] ist eine bedeutende Stadtburg (kasbah) auf dem Sabikah-Hügel von Granada in Spanien, die als eines der bedeutendsten Beispiele des maurischen Stils der islamischen Kunst gilt. Die Alhambra ist eine der meistbesuchten Touristenattraktionen Europas und seit 1984 Weltkulturerbe. Die Burganlage ist etwa 740 m lang und bis zu 220 m breit. Im Osten ist der Sommerpalast Generalife vorgelagert.
Die Herkunft des Wortes Alhambra ist umstritten. Diese Burg wird traditionell auch arabisch القلعة الحمراء, DMG al-qal‘at al-ḥamrā’ mit der Bedeutung „die rote Festung“ genannt, so dass diese Interpretation allgemein in Umlauf ist, wobei die alternative arabische Bezeichnung قصر الحمراء, DMG qaṣr al-ḥamrāʾ eine Genitivform ist und entweder mit „Burg von al-Ḥamrā’“ (als Eigenname) oder mit „Burg der Roten“ wiedergegeben werden kann. Diese Interpretation bezöge sich vermutlich auf die rötlich gefärbten Außenmauern der Burg, die von ferne wie ein „Brand“ oder „Rost“ (arabisch الحمراء, DMG al-ḥamrā’) wirken. Schon im 9. Jahrhundert ist von einer „roten Burg“ bei Granada die Rede. Für diese Annahme spricht, dass das Farbadjektiv nicht nur im Namen der Festung, sondern auch im Namen der Stadt Granada (granat) auftaucht. Robert Pocklington ist überzeugt, dass der Name der Puerta del Vino (‚Weintor‘) eine auf den alten Namen des Tores zurückgehende verschleiernde Lehnübersetzung ist: Bāb bzw. in maghrebinisch-andalusischer Aussprache Bīb al-ḥamrāʾ ‚rotes Tor‘. Nicht zuletzt sind die Torres Bermejas (‚rötliche Türme‘) als ein mit der Alhambra verbundener Gebäudekomplex ein weiterer Hinweis auf die Farbe Rot.
One of the most beautiful paths to walk in Spain. Start in Sacromonte and walk yourself down along this path. You’ll see the Alhambra and Generalife from up top and then have countless places available for tapas.

Such a beautiful walk. One of the most amazing streets of Granada, with the castle on top and the atmosphere of old spanish times.

if you have been to Granada, you probably have walked here. If you have not and are going to Granada, you should walk there. A nice square, with a lot of cafes around, makes for a nice pit stop - just be sure to choose a shadowy place, otherwise on a sunny day it can be quite hot

The main street of Albaicin it's a great place to walk, have a drink, eat "tapas", draw, listen to flamenco, and the list goes on and on. It's true, there are lots of cars and u need to get by the walls, but we didn't mind at all. It's part of Granada"s charm. I would definetely come back here.

Pleasant place to hang out after visiting the Alhambra even if a bit touristy. Nice atmosphere, street musicians entertaining you whil you drink a beer outside.

A really nice and romantic walk with loads of tapas restaurants.

Nice cheap tapas, also coincidentally there was an amazing lady singing traditional granada song with a melancholic tone, one if the best vocals I have heard in my life. I also got to have a chat with a wonderful couple who were from USA in the open terrace of this place, they shared their wonderful trips and gave me good suggestions, had a very good quiet evening.

A must when visiting Granada. A romantic walk that will lead you to la Cuesta del Chapiz and then eventually to Albaicín. On the way you will find many cafes, restaurants and local handicraft shops.

Dope place after sunset to eat your baklava alone as you look at those two geese romping around the joint

Great street to walk along the river. I came here after going up to the Alhambra and I checked out some of the local shops. There are lots of restaurants, ice cream shops, and places to sit!

Restaurants here were a bit pricey but tapas came with the drinks at no charge. Good view of Alhambra from below.

Lots of people but awesome place. It's like being teleported to the the 13th century.
