Despite the fact that the birthplace of spectacular bullfighting is Seville, the sights of Granada also retain the spirit of incendiary fights - one of such places is the Granada bullring. I must say, the history of this competition is rooted in the distant past, when the Iberian Peninsula was inhabited by Iberian tribes. After the completion of the Reconquista, brave warriors who had previously been able to show their strength in battles with the Moors now showed courage by fighting the bull.

In terms of architectural monuments of antiquity, the ancient ensemble of buildings of the 9th century called the Alhambra is of particular interest. Granada also has another significant monument of particular historical value - this is the Royal Chapel, one of the most important shrines of Granada and all of Spain. The fact is that here are the burial places of two monarchs who played a huge role in the history of Spain - Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. It is with their names that the completion of the Reconquista is connected. At the beginning of the 16th century, Isabella issued a decree on the construction of a chapel, and some time later a beautiful structure was erected in the flamboyant Gothic style on a foundation in the shape of a Catholic cross.

A couple of minutes walk from the Cathedral of Granada, the route passes through the Coalyard, the only inn in Spain that has remained untouched for centuries. It was erected in the 14th century during the Nasrid era and at that time was in the possession of Muslims. A market was located in the yard, merchants stopped here, and later the yard was sold at an auction and began to be used for standing coal miners - hence its name. Then the inn repeatedly changed owners, and at the beginning of the last century it came into the possession of the state, was repeatedly restored - the last time it was quite recently, in 2006.
