Although we often think of the Alhambra for its decorated walls and plasterwork, there are also pavements and walkways covered with geometric mosaics, especially in the Nasrid palaces and areas of the Generalife. These mosaics are part of the Andalusian art tradition, where geometry, symmetry, and color are essential elements.
