In the centuries that followed the Christian conquest, Granada began to expand beyond the ancient walls of the Arab city, occupying the area that was consolidated when the new train station was built there.
This is a very vibrant part of the city, where going for tapas is the thing to do, particularly near the bullring. The main monument to be visited is the Monastery of La Cartuja, whose tabernacle is possibly one of the best examples of the Spanish baroque period.
