VERSIÓN ESPAÑOLA / SPANISH VERSION

		PALACE & COURTYARD OF THE LIONS	This was the focal point of the sultan's private dwellings, within which there were areas set aside for the women of the house.
		GATES, WALLS TOWERS AND RAMPARTS OF THE ALHAMBRA	Of the thirty or more towers which originally fortified the ramparts surrounding the Alhambra twenty-two still exist., each with its own name usually based on mundane usage.
		THE BATH HOUSES	The bath-house of the Comares Palace had a very specific function directly related to politics and diplomacy. It was a comfortable place to conduct the friendly management of official business.
		PARTAL AREA	The open portico of the Tower of the Ladies overlooking a small esplanade containing a pool is called a partal in Arabic and today includes the whole area beside the Palace of the Lions.
		GENERALIFE PALACE & GARDENS	This is the only one remaining of the many granges that once existed. The Generalife was a retreat where the Granadan monarchs could relax, away from the daily toil and bustle of the court.
		THE ALCAZABA (OLD CITADEL)	The Alcazaba, unjustly forgotten by all those who after the Christian conquest wrote in dazzling terms about the Nasrid palaces, is the solitary forbear of an entire palatine city: Madinat-al-Hamra
		THE MEXUAR PALACE	This is the area of the palace complex that has undergone most transformation since its earliest days. Changes were made by the Christian governors to adapt it to new roles and functions.
		THE COMARES PALACE	This complex including the Hall of the Ambassadors, or Throne Room, forms the most important nucleus of the Alhambra. Its balanced proportions lend the courtyard a feeling of serene majesty.
		FOUNTAIN & PALACE OF CHARLES V	If any one monument can be so controversial and misunderstood and yet so often referred to as outstanding it is the Palace of Charles V.
		GRANADA IN WHITE (2003 SNOWFALL)	Pictures taken in 2003 when Granada and the Alhambra got white for the first time in 20 Years. Once-in-a-while shoots of the Alhambra covered in snow.
		THE ALHAMBRA AT NIGHT	Outstanding pictures of the Alhambra at night taken form some of Granada's most beautiful view-points such as Mirador San Nicolas, Paseo de los Tristes or Sacromonte.
		THE ALHAMBRA AS SEEN FROM GRANADA'S BEST VIEWPOINTS	The Alhambra seen from Granada's best viewpoints including sunset shots from San Nicolas (the most beautiful in the world according to Bill Clinton own words)and the Generalife Gardens.
