Alhambra, Spain

1.   

2.  In North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell Alhambra, Spain is mentioned in Chapter XII Morning Calls. Fanny and Margaret are talking about places they long to see and Fanny mentions London and Abraham is a place that Fanny would love to see.

3.  Throughout the research process, I learned that Alhambra, Spain is a palace and fortress of the Moorish monarchs of Granada, Spain that is famous for its beauty. The palace built in the 13th and 14th centuries by the Muslim Nasrid dynasty, and the name of the palace name was derived from Arabic that translates to "the red palace" for the red color of the walls surrounding the fortress. Connected to Britain because in the novel they are talking about visiting Alhambra. 

4. When researching this location I have made a connection between Alhambra, Spain, and the mentioned book Tales of Alhambra by Washington Irving. Tales of Alhambra is a collection of essays and stories.  This book mentioned within North and South in Chapter XII Morning Calls. This clarifies why Fanny and Margaret would want to visit Alhambra, Spain.
