\"\"This is our visit to the Alhambra in Granada, Spain<\/a>! One of the true wonders of the world … which was open and practically empty in September 2020. Something incredible considering that the previous year, the Alhambra received some 2.8 million people!<\/p>\n

The feeling that I remember having in the Alhambra was of being in pure harmony with myself… and this came stright from the environment! I felt as if life was growing in me and I felt elevated in some way. I had something similar to the traveler syndrome , also colled the Stendhal syndrome. Who after visiting Florence, came to say \u201cI had reached that degree of emotion in which the heavenly sensations given by the Fine Arts and passionate feelings stumble. Leaving Santa Croce, my heart was beating, life was exhausted in me, I was scared of falling “. For my part,during the visit in Alhambra I felt true happyness.<\/p>\n

I was also impressed by how water is always present in the Alhambra, as pipes, streams, or as fountains. I was much more surprised to discover that a hydraulic system was designed in the year 1238 to satisfy the water needs. A true marvel of medieval engineering that in turn creates a microclimate full of life, shade, and freshness.<\/p>\n
