I just got back from my trip to Granada a couple of hours ago. I had a wonderful time! I'm exhausted, so I'll give a basic outline of what I did here and go into detail later.
- I had a train ticket for the wrong day. Hillary, my travel companion, missed the train to Granada.
- We visited the Cathedral where Fernando and Isabela are buried and saw their tomb.
- We saw the Alhambra, one of the most visited (and beautiful) places in Spain.
- Hillary and I stayed at the Funky Backpackers Hostel, breakfast and guitar included.
- We walked around the Albaicín neighborhood, which has a very Moroccan style.
- For dinner we had Chinese tapas and I discovered tinto de verano.
- We navigated through the gypsy maze in the Sacramonte neighborhood.
- We hiked by the caves in the hills where the gypsies live.
- Before we left, we had a delicious lunch with musical accompaniment.
This blog was really an excuse to put in a round of pictures. All these pictures were taken at the Alhambra. The last one is the Cathedral, just one tiny part of the gorgeous view. I wish these pictures could convey the texture and color and clarity that I saw while I was there, but this will have to do. I'll update soon!
