Thematic visits in Granada and the Alhambra

Al-Andalus left us both heritage and a cultural legacy. During the presence of the Muslims, there were many important innovations, especially those related to water. Water is of great significance in the Islam culture, since it belongs to Paradise. At a quick glance you will find water and sophisticated techniques everywhere in the Alhambra.
