Why It Feels Like Granada
Strolling down Paseo de Montejo feels like wandering the Albayzín, with its pastel colonial mansions and wrought‑iron balconies framing the distant hills. The Cathedral’s white façade mirrors Granada’s cathedral, while the nearby Plaza Grande buzzes with street musicians and vendors selling marzipan. Evening lights wash the historic center in a golden glow, and the scent of jasmine from nearby gardens adds a lingering romance.
