An ancient fortress on the hills above the city. The Moorish architecture in the Caza Real is absolutely stunning and the intricate detail on every surface is awe-inspiring. You can get lost in the Generalife gardens, although when I went in August it was impossible not to be surrounded by people. The mix of architecture, from the Caza Real to the Charles V Palace, then to the oldest building of the complex, the Alcazaba castle; tells a story so some background reading would enhance your visit and understanding. You have to book the day before you arrive, in fact we booked a few months before we went on holiday just to be sure.
