The most attractive place in Alhambra, Courtyard Myrtle (Patio de Comares). It has a swimming pool whose water flows constantly. With many rooms, the doors, it looks like a labyrinth vertigo. At any time, you can see some towers rose above your head and you can hear the pleasant sound of water.
Extensions of the Alhambra are the walls of the old walled city Alkasabe (in translation "Fortress"), in which the late fifteenth century lived ordinary residents of the city. If you show a little good will and if you invest some effort, you can enjoy in a magnificent scenery of Granada from the top.
