Durante siglos viajeros de todas las culturas se han quedado maravillados por esta belleza sin edad. El norteamericano Washington Irving, prototipo de historiador romántico, inicia un viaje por tierras andaluzas que le llevará a instalarse en Granada. Allí empezará a trazar un paisaje de la Granada de la época, sus gentes, sus calles, sus costumbres, etc, que será plasmado en los cuentos y leyendas que existen en torno a la Alhambra y a su pasado hispanomusulmán. Un viaje por el pasado de una ciudad pintoresca y plural: comunidad judía, aroma musulmán y presencia cristiana.
