These luxuriant and imaginative landscaped gardens are the image of a Muslim paradise: cool, shady, and tranquil with abundant running water. That's what the architects dreamt up for the Nasrid sultan in the 13th century to complement his summer residence since Granada is ferociously hot and dry in summer. Trees, hedges, bushes, plants and flowers were planted on the Alhambra hill and the river Darro was diverted upstream to provide a constant source of water to the complex. It's still the sort of place where you can spend a relaxing day appreciating the patios, enclosed gardens, walkways, fountains and pools as well as the views over the Albayzín.
