Data sheet
Manuel Mateo Pérez and artist Aixa Portero explore the historical monument, a reality of water, poetry and sky
The Alhambra, one of the most spectacular heritage sites in the world, was home to the rulers of the last Hispano-Islamic dynasty. Twenty-four sultans reigned over the kingdom of Granada before its conquest by the Catholic Monarchs. Water is the lifeblood of this monumental palace complex, a source of inspiration for artists, poets and musicians over the centuries, and a must-see destination for the travellers of the Romantic Age. Its walls are inscribed with the questions and answers of a place of universal significance, a place whose endless beauty and modernity continue to surprise us today.
A Tintablanca journal is a unique object of desire for anyone who loves travel, literature, illustration and luxury stationery. Each of our publications is a travel book and journal rolled into one. Created by leading writers and illustrators, our books are full of fascinating details that turn each copy into a small but beautifully formed work of art.
