EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time as you wander through the labyrinthine streets of Albaicín, Granada, Spain. This historic district, also known as El Albayzín, is a living testament to the rich cultural heritage of Andalusia. Established during the Moorish occupation of Spain in the 13th century, its narrow, winding alleys and whitewashed houses have remained largely unchanged for centuries. In this evocative photograph, taken in 1906, we see a view of the Albaicín quarter from the bridge that spans the Darro River. The river, a vital source of water for the community, flows gently beneath the bridge, adding to the serene atmosphere of this ancient place. The whitewashed houses, with their red-tiled roofs and ornate wooden balconies, cling to the steep hillside, creating a stunning tableau that has captivated visitors for generations. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, along with the famous Alhambra, Albaicín is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, and the unique blend of cultures that make up the rich tapestry of Spanish heritage. Whether you stroll through its narrow streets, sample its delicious cuisine, or simply take in the breathtaking views, a visit to Albaicín is an experience you'll never forget.
