Politico published an exposé last September on Jerry Falwell Jr.'s so-called "dictatorship" at Liberty University, citing employees who claimed that he had sent racy photos of his wife to male friends and was "very, very vocal" about his sex life. However, restrictive non-disclosure agreements and a pervading sense of fear allegedly prevented individuals from speaking out against the leader, according to the report. While the Generalife is a part of the La Alhambra complex, this oasis deserves a separate tour of its own. It’s a group of sprawling gardens located on the eastern side, right next to the entrance, where you can sit in the garden and take a breather. La Alhambra is the symbol of Granada. The name translates to “red fort” in Arabic, a reference to the reddish tones of the edifices. Take a stroll down Paseo de Los Tristes– This long promenade that runs along the Douro River used to be a popular route for funeral processions, hence the name, meaning “walk of the sad ones.” Today, this route is anything but sad, with beautiful views of La Alhambra above. It makes for a nice stroll in the evening.

But just three days of meandering through the Arab Quarter, watching spontaneous flamenco street performances, and gorging on free tapas will leave you with no doubt that Granada might just be the top destination in Spain.The Medina– Located in the eastern part of La Alhambra, the Medina was a citadel during the Nasrid dynasty. It was home to a residential area for palace servants and common people, in addition to mosques, shops, and public houses. Today, you’ll find mainly ruins of some of the original structures, since, during the reconquest of Spain, much of the citadel was destroyed and replaced with new buildings. Still, exploring this area will give you a sense of how normal people lived during the Moorish era in Granada. Make a wish at Plaza del Campo del Príncipe– The leafy square at the heart of the neighborhood is widely regarded as the best place in town for tapas. There are outdoor terraces where one can sit and relax over food and drinks. In the middle of the square is a statue called Cristo de los Favores, where you can make three wishes on Good Friday. Lastly, we have the traditional Andalusian gazpacho, a cold tomato soup. I will admit that I’m not a fan of cold soup, but I can see how gazpacho would be refreshing on a hot summer day.

In recent texts between Granda and the Falwells, the former pool attendant appeared to be frustrated, Reuters reported.

Beyond tapas, there are several famous dishes from Andalusia that are worth trying. Native to Granada is the Sacromonte omelette, made with lamb or calf brains and testicles — suitable for adventurous eaters. A dish that anyone can try would be plato alpujarreño, a traditional plate consisting of jamón serrano (cured ham), morcilla (blood sausage), potatoes, eggs, and peppers. The Nasrid Palaces– It’s hard to describe the breathtaking craftsmanship of Moorish architecture, and the Nasrid Palaces, which served as official residences for Moorish rulers, are one of the finest examples of it. With their colorful tiles, stucco walls, and intricately carved designs, the Comares Palace, the Palace of the Lions, and the Mexuar are amazing. They are linked through a series of courtyards and walkways, which also include a fountain, a reflecting pool, and marble walls. Take your time to stroll through the palaces, located in the middle of the Alhambra complex, and marvel at the beauty of the surroundings. Michael Bowe, an attorney for Jerry Falwell Jr., told Reuters ahead of publication that the Liberty University president "categorically denies everything you indicated you intend to publish about him." While it is a smaller, quieter city, with a slower pace of life than the bustling metropolises of Madrid and Barcelona, there are distinct neighborhoods and unique attractions that will take up plenty of your time. I could easily have spent another month exploring them!

In this guest post, travel expert Somto from Somto Seeks shares her suggested itinerary for Granada, one of Spain’s most beautiful and enchanting cities. The Emir of Granada commissioned the construction of this sprawling palace and fortress in the mid-13th century to serve as the residence for the Moorish Nasrid kings and their families. About 120 years later, La Alhambra was completed. This 14th-century building is the only preserved alhóndiga, or corn exchange, on the Iberian Peninsula from the period of Muslim rule. It functioned as a marketplace for goods like wheat, a storehouse, and lodging for merchants coming from outside of town. Due to its historical importance, Corral del Carbón was declared a National Monument by the city of Granada. You can visit on a guided tour.

Start off your adventure in Granada with a tour of the historic center, where a handful of the city’s most iconic monuments, plazas, and streets are located. It’s a wide area encompassing the Arab Quarter, also known as the Albaicín, and some prominent public institutions and plazas. Here are some of my favorite things to do: Whether it was immaturity, naïveté, instability or a combination thereof, it was this 'mindset' that the Falwells likely detected in deciding that I was the ideal target for their sexual escapades," he claimed.
