| If
you see only one town in Spain it should be GRANADA. For here, extraordinarily
well preserved and in a tremendous natural setting, stands the Alhambra
- the most exciting, sensual and romantic of all European monuments. It
was the palace-fortress of the Nasrid sultans, rulers of the last Spanish
Moorish kingdom, and in its construction Moorish art reached a spectacular
and serene climax. But the building seems to go further than this, revealing
something of the whole brilliance and spirit of Moorish life and culture.
There's a haunting passage in Jan Morris's book, Spain, which the palace
embodies: "Life itself, which was seen elsewhere in Europe as a kind of
probationary preparation for death, was interpreted [by the Moors] as something
glorious in itself, to be ennobled by learning and enlivened by every kind
of pleasure.".... read more
