Why It Feels Like Granada
Fort Collins’ Old Town, with its red‑brick facades, wrought‑iron balconies, and narrow alleyways, evokes Granada’s Albayzín district. The nearby Cache la Poudre River runs through a series of stone bridges reminiscent of the Darro River’s crossings. Colorful street art and bustling tapas‑style eateries create a lively, Mediterranean ambience. The scent of pine from the foothills blends with the aroma of fresh paella from local kitchens.
