I have noticed that all the souvenir shops sell Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving.
Is it worth buying?

The Tales of the Alhambra is a collection of essays and stories about Granada and the Alhambra.

Washington Irving, the author, visited the Alhambra in  the 1830s.

It was through Washington Irving that Granada became well known.
