Secret Granada Guide

A replica of the Pantheon for Japanese weddings, a hydrocephalic head, the cabalistic symbolism of the Alhambra, a macabre joke, a spectacular 19th century natural history museum, a secret library, a curious watch celebrating the birth of the Prophet Mohammed, a water chess championship, an erotic chapel, the fifth Gospel in the Sacromonte, the subterranean route of the river crossing the centre of the city …

Far from the masses and well-trodden clichés, Granada still holds hidden treasures, revealing them only to residents and travellers willing to go off the beaten track.

An indispensable guide for those who think they know Granada well or those who want to discover another side to the city.
