This is where the Moorish elite lived during the occupation. The mix of structures built over the centuries is amaazing and, although it's a poor neighbourhood, there are fantastic buildings and palaces among the humble common houses. Many are decaying, others have been restored and some even transformed in luxury hotels.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783877262954668959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-85446793688904903702014-04-03T14:54:30.775+01:002014-04-03T14:54:30.775+01:00This is really too bad, and it would be a very nic...This is really too bad, and it would be a very nice corner with only a few improvements...VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186211344492845052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-33749811722877772622014-04-03T14:30:39.868+01:002014-04-03T14:30:39.868+01:00It's got good bones, if only I had the money a...It's got good bones, if only I had the money and the know how to bring it back to it's former glory!
