Granada is a city where Catholicism and Islam perfectly coexist both in architecture and in everyday life. Announcements about the lessons of flamenco are glued here on the walls of houses interspersed with the advertisement of "accelerated courses" of belly dancing, and typically the Moorish buildings inside are hung with icons. At night it's noisy here: they smoke hashish right on the street, they're walking around the wine shops (analogues of our "wine" ones) and clubs
