Spain's top tourist attraction for 2008 was none other than the beautifully historic site of the Alhambra Palace in Granada which received just over 3.000.000 visitors. Although this was a slight decrease of some 17.000 on the previous year ( 2007) it still attracted more visitors than the � Church of the Sagrada Familia� in Barcelona with 2.75 Millions and the Prado Museum in Madrid 2.73 Millions.

46.25% of the visitors are Europeans ( non Spanish nationals ) with the rest 34.66 % made up of Spanish nationals.

Some other curious statistics include that the average age of the European visitor is between 30 and 45 , has a university education and holds a qualified employment.
