Before writing about the Alhambra, Yun Luo thought it was necessary to let the American who wrote "Alhambra" show his face. In spring, Washington Irving came to Spain on a mule from the United States. Perhaps his experience cannot be called a trip, but it is more accurate to say it is an adventure.

When he arrived in Granada from Seville, it was three hundred years since the Moors' regime over Granada was captured. At that time, the Alhambra Palace was just a ruined palace abandoned in the wilderness of Granada, with weeds and desolate eyes. Washington Irving saw this scene and went to find the then Governor of Granada.

When the Governor invited him to live in the Alhambra Palace, Washington Irving accepted it with a smile. Now Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu saw the flowers and plants of the Alhambra Palace were neatly trimmed and the park was exquisite and unique. But when Washington Irving walked here, he saw the scene of declining like that dynasty. But he really touched history.

He searched for the legendary "wandering soul" in the Alhambra Palace, discovered the exquisite water pipe system designed by the Moors, searched for information in the library in the downtown Granada, found the truth about the internal massacres performed by the Alhambra Palace, and pursued the "going out" of the Moors after surrendering...

When questions are found one by one, when complexes are released, there is the movie "Alhambra". So Washington Irving's meaning to the Alhambra is just like James Hilton's "Shangri-La".

Now we can continue to talk about the trip to the Alhambra Palace where Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are.

At that time, Washington Irving had to ride a mule to avoid robbers and endure the bumps when he arrived at the Alhambra. Today, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu only need to take bus No. 30 near the intersection of Cologne Street and Isabel Square to easily reach the entrance of the Alhambra.

In order to save your energy, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu still chose to take the bus. 1.2 euros per person, from the main station to the main station, you can reach the entrance of the Alhambra Palace in more than 20 minutes. After getting off the bus, you will be at the end of the ticket buying team, but after a half hour, the team did not change at all. Yan Chenyu found a self-service ticket machine nearby.

Resolutely exit the queue. There is almost no need to queue in front of the self-service ticket machine. You can use magnetic stripe credit cards (most of Europe are chip credit cards). The visit time of the Alhambra Palace is divided into morning (8:00 to 14:00) afternoon (closed after 2:00) and the Nalaris Palace also provides evening visits (20:00 to 23:30).

You can only enter the venue within the booking period. The number of people entering the venue is limited (it seems to be 6,600). Although Yunluo and Yan Chenyu successfully bought afternoon tickets, the afternoon and evening events of Nalaris Palace have been sold out, so they have to give up. If you come to the Alhambra Palace with the idea of ​​having to check them all, it is best to book online in advance, and the tips will be explained in detail later.

The watchtower needs to be checked separately, so the relatives must also collect the tickets after entering the door. This watchtower was where Hassan, the ruler of the Moors, imprisoned the queen and the later last king Pobberdir. The queen used her own strength to defeat her husband and husband's new love and helped her son ascend the throne.

But Poberdill, who was mild in nature, was not as strong as his mother. In the end, he ended the Moorish regime in Spain and left the Alhambra.

The Alhambra Palace feels simple overall, with square buildings, but the details of the building are highly valued. Whether it is the columns or the arches, there are fine carved patterns. The Moors walked by this door, and Washington Irving also walked by. Now, countless modern tourists are passing by here and admire it.

On the right side of this door (faced) is the Nalaris Palace, which Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu failed to get to. The lp introduced her as follows: She is a veritable treasure in the Alhambra Palace and the most brilliant Islamic building in Europe. The entire palace has rigorously furnished rooms and an atrium full of Islamic style.

The exquisite plaster wall carvings, beautiful ceramic tiles, exquisite wood carving ceilings and stalactite-shaped vaults are perfectly displayed in magical techniques, symbolic symbols and geometric patterns. The wall carvings are also engraved with Arabic inscriptions. The pictures of the Alhambra Palace I saw before were also the most. It is a pity that I failed to visit this trip. But I was optimistic and thanked God for giving Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu infinite imagination space about her.

The Palace of Carlos V is a solemn Renaissance building, which is in sharp contrast to the overall architectural style of the Alhambra, and it can be called out of place. The palace was built in 1526, after Granada returned to Christianity. Its architect was a student of Michelangelo.

The entire building is square outside and round inside. There is a wide circular courtyard in the middle, surrounded by two floors of 32 colonnades. Now there are Alhambra Gallery and Granada Provincial Gallery.

When talking about Carlos V, Washington Irving should have gritted his teeth. When describing Carlos V in "Alhambra", he used an exclamation mark that was rarely used. Carlos V was the monarch of the prosperous Spain. He once commented on Poberdill: "If he (Poberdill) was.

But he would rather let the Alhambra Palace become a tomb than lose the kingdom like this and live in Albuchala." (Albuchala is the mountainous area where Poberdir abdicated) So, Washington Irving was furious: "Those powerful people cannot understand that even if they have nothing, as long as they survive, they are improving the value of life!"

Yes, not to mention that when Poberdill left, he reached an agreement with the king at that time to preserve the people of the city - ordinary Moors.

Therefore, Yunluo not only disliked the arrogant Carlos V, but Yunluo was also silent in his related architecture. Even when he saw it, the courtyard was filled with sunlight.

In the Alhambra Palace, the most common one is water scenes. Water flows in the ditches and will gurgle from the dragon head hanging on the walls into the basin, and it will turn into a cheerful fountain and dance lightly. Do Arabs like water so much?

Later I learned that this was a water conservancy system carefully designed by the Arabs who knew how to cherish water resources. The water was all springs and snow water on the mountain. The Arabs designed canals, water pipes and fountains to revitalize these water resources and make the land of Granada more fertile.

This design was also seen in the later Alcazar Castle in Seville.

The Summer Palace Villa is located at the farthest corner from the entrance. If you want to get there, you have to walk a while. The lp says. It is the most perfect to end the entire Alhambra tour here, and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are just what they want.

The name of Summer Palace Villa has the meaning of "Architect's Garden", which shows its beauty. The Summer Palace is the entrance to Summer Palace Villa and is also the most gorgeous view. Two rows of exquisite fountains stand face to face, and the gushing spring water crosses the air, shining with diamond-like light in the sun.

There are finely carved gallery columns at both ends, and the walls on both sides are covered with roses. No matter how you look at it, you will feel impeccable.

When he was about to leave the Alhambra, Yunluo suddenly wondered. When Poberdir sold the land of Albchala and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and returned to Africa, did he think about returning to the Alhambra? If so, now, tourists from all over the world have fulfilled their wishes for him, standing here for him, staring at the Albaysin district that finally belonged to them.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu jogged down the mountain along the path outside the exit of the Alhambra Palace. They were lined with lush forests and the air was super good. Many locals exercised on this road. Walk along this straight mountain road for 20 minutes and arrived at the intersection opposite the new square.

This should be the shortest route to the Alhambra, but it takes some effort to move up.

Back to the old town of Granada, I went to eat the delicious ice cream that I had eaten yesterday, and then walked along the Cologne Street to the train station to buy a train ticket to Seville tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, I found a big supermarket opposite the train station, called Mas, which should be a famous supermarket in Andalusia. Later, I met it many times in cities such as Seville. I went to the market to buy water and food. After coming out of the supermarket, I saw the snow in the Sierra Nevada. Although I was already very tired, I felt that the trip was worth it.

In the evening, I accompanied Yan Chenyu to have Chinese food. Gongbao chicken and rice noodle soup... I won’t say it anymore. Anyway, Yun Luo is not interested in eating Chinese food outside.

There was only one last night left in Granada, and Yan Chenyu remembered to look at the city that she started to whirlwind when she came. So Yunluo and Yan Chenyu saw the cathedral at night, Isabel Square...

Yan Chenyu took advantage of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's walk and went into a bar to watch Chelsea's Champions League against Barcelona (actually LZ also really wanted to go), a cup of intoxicating sang day A.2.5 euros; a fierce Champions League, 2-2; a wonderful night, full of history.

Granada was captured in 1492, an important year in the history of Western civilization. After that, the whole of Europe became a Christian world. In that year, Columbus, supported by the couple kings, Fernando and Isabel, discovered the new continent of America - she would become the hometown of Washington Irving. What kind of circle is this history!"

At the next stop, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu will arrive at the city of Columbus: Sevilla.

The homesalad (ensalada xta mixed salad) in Spanish restaurants does not have salad dressing, it is just a pot of raw dishes. You can add olive oil, salt, pepper and vinegar.
