Carmen de los Mártires

This is a delightful park that is best accessed from Granada by ascending via Campo de Principe (Realejo) or is a 10 minute walk from the Alhambra.  It is a charming and peaceful park that you can stroll round to see views of the city and the Alhambra.  My personal preference though is to wander round the lake and see the ducks swimming around the grotto in the middle.    

In moorish times, military tournaments are likely to have taken place here.  A convent also used to exist on these grounds but this was destroyed in the 19th century.  You can however still see the convent garden. Follow @nwbridges78
