Construction of the Cathedral began in 1523 under an initial Gothic design led by Enrique Egas. In 1528, Diego de Siloé took over and transformed the project into a grand Renaissance masterpiece, making it one of the most important cathedrals of the Spanish Renaissance. Construction continued into the 18th century, and its Baroque façade was designed by Alonso Cano in 1667. It is the first great Renaissance cathedral in Spain and a masterpiece of Spanish art.

The silence, the wind, the endless views of the Sierra

Granada Cathedral is considered a jewel of the Spanish Renaissance and a must-see in the city. Unique architecture: a fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles, with contributions from Diego de Siloé and Alonso Cano. Highlights include the Porte del Perdón (Forgiveness Portal), the Main Chapel, and the Plateresque choir stalls.

It is not an exceptional place, but the tower acts as a reference point due to its height and can be seen from different points along the Genil River.

Very nice and fast cycle path.

This bridge is of Arab origin and was strategically located at the entrance to the town to cross the ravine eroded by the Cubillas River. It was declared an architectural-artistic monument in 1922. It also contains a gate to control the entrance to the town to ensure the passage of people wishing to enter the town. It has three large horseshoe arches with spans between seven and eleven meters. Some historians have suggested that its origin may even be earlier, and that it may be Visigothic. This is not a far-fetched idea, since from the dawn of time when the first human settlements occurred in the town, it must have included a way to cross the ravine from one side to the other.

The cycle path is a green way to approach Granada. But it is not that special. Rather a missed opportunity to make something beautiful of it.
