Granada - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?

Nothing major; many Spaniards have quite strong opinions about gitanos (Roma) and Moroccans, but I didn"t see any overt hostility. There's a functioning mosque in the middle of the Albaicín, which I find very befitting for the capital of Europe"s last Arab kingdom! Do remember that Spaniards love to stare, so I (blond Northern European guy) got lots of attention. Women experience the same, and probably a degree more. I never heard anyone who found it threatening; just annoying. - Oct 2008
