Hiking

Although we often think of the Alhambra for its decorated walls and plasterwork, there are also pavements and walkways covered with geometric mosaics, especially in the Nasrid palaces and areas of the Generalife. These mosaics are part of the Andalusian art tradition, where geometry, symmetry, and color are essential elements.

Hiking

The "mosaic paths" at the Alhambra in Granada refer to the traditional cobblestone walkways called empedrado granadino. This ancient decorative technique, which creates beautiful black and white geometric and floral patterns, characterizes the courtyards, avenues, and wonderful gardens of the Generalife.
