Why It Feels Like Granada
Strolling down Elm Street feels like wandering the Albaicín, with white‑washed façades and Moorish‑style arches framing bustling cafés. The historic downtown’s brick warehouses echo Granada’s old city walls, while the nearby Bog Garden offers a tranquil, moss‑laden retreat reminiscent of the Sierra Nevada foothills. Evening lights on the University of North Carolina campus mirror the golden glow of the Alhambra’s courtyards.
