Impressions Of Important Characters Throughout Time During the 13th century, Al Suqundi mentioned the following regarding the city of Granada: "Granada is the Damascus of Al-Andalus, a pasture for the eyes, an elevation of the soul. It has an in-expugnable castle of tall walls and magnificent buildings. It stands out for the singularity of its river, which disseminates through its houses, baths, Moorish markets, internal and external mills and gardens". Victor Hugo, however, during the 19th century, said the following about the city of Granada: “Be it near or far, Spanish or Arabic, There is not one single city, Which dare dispute, With Granada, the beautiful, The prize of beauty, Nor any that show, With more enchantment or jollity, Brighter eastern sparkles, Under a more serene sky". In the 19th century, this was Pedro Antonio de Alarcón’s impression about Granada: “Who has not heard of and admired Granada without even visiting it?” These impressions and/or opinions regarding Granada, among others became well-known, and they continued to attract numerous of tourists up to this moment which kept the city of Granada even more attractive and vibrant through and through. B.

Apparently, not all natives of Granada possess the Spanish citizenship. In fact, nearly 3.5% only possess the said citizenship, while the largest part of the other people, (about 31%) are coming from South America. According to some theories, majority of the natives of Granada city, or the “Granadinos” do not possess a good reputation and they are well-known for being ill-tempered. It was mentioned that most Granadinos are less friendly and cheerful than the average Spaniard. However, there are more articles, observations, opinions and experiences that claims this theory wrong.
