In the adjacent Generalife gardens, part of a sprawling former summer residence, observe the superb Moorish Patio de La Acequia, the Patio del Ciprés, which mixes Moorish and Renaissance features, the Italian-style terraced gardens and the famed Water Stairway, all of which are showcased amid a dazzling array of cypress hedges and fountains.
