The Alhambra's Granada, 1480
This is Ġarnāṭa at the late Nasrid court: a shrinking independent emirate whose capital still concentrates courtly refinement and urban working life beneath the Alhambra. The walk moves from the Vega approach through the medina's markets, madrasa and silk exchange, along the Darro and up the Sabika to the palace terraces and irrigated gardens fed by Sierra Nevada snowmelt.
37 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 15 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Granada as it stood in 1480 (“Emirate of Granada”).
