About the book

Shades of the Alhambra is a literary and historical evocation of Granada's magnificent Alhambra palace, drawing on the legends, memories and romantic associations that surround one of Spain's most celebrated monuments. The book explores the palace not simply as a work of architecture, but as a place shaped by centuries of Moorish rule, Christian conquest and imaginative storytelling. Its atmosphere is filled with ruined halls, gardens, fountains and echoes of the Nasrid rulers who made the Alhambra their royal residence. Blending history, travel and legend, the work captures the fascination the palace has exercised over generations of writers, artists and travellers.
