Plants that make gardens Cypress trees, emblem of the gardens of Granada The Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L.) is the most characteristic tree on the landscape and in the gardens of the historic neighbourhoods of Granada. Ever since the regionalists adopted it as a symbol of the city, its popularity has increased and today the cypress is an integral part of the image of the city. The link between cypress trees and longevity, and hence with death and the life that comes after it, made it a typical plant in cemeteries, even in regions that were far removed from its natural distribution area. This did not prevent it becoming widely used as a garden tree, not only in Granada, but also in cities in Italy and the eastern Mediterranean. In the old gardens of Granada, it was used in very different ways as a freestanding tree or pruned in the shape of dramatic figures, from simple columns to pathways with arches, reaching its most complicated form in arbours with vaults made of overlapping arches, a sort of plant-based Gothic gazebo, which were a frequent sight in the city at the end of the 19th century.

An old camel corral and watering spot that has been renovated into offices with a nice courtyard and fountain. The Alhambra Patronato has an office here. There is also a public restroom to the right as you enter.

A small square with a fountain in the middle, nothing fancy and nothing to do, you can't go to the upper floors. The only cool thing about it is that you can find a machine to buy official tickets for the Alhambra that are usually hard to get.
