Granada,
December 23 to 24

We arrived early in the afternoon as we did not want to miss the sunset from Plaza San Nicolas, just across the Alhambra. A group of guys playing flamenco on the terrace brought the right atmosphere into the place. The sunset did not disappoint! Walking down the streets, later at night, we had a flavour of Morocco as we pass so many little streets, shops, tea and the fabulous and colourful lamps.

I really liked the new city too. It was big enough to be interesting and yet small enough to be cosy. The old town is built along the river which is so pretty. And wherever we go, the magnificent view of the Alhambra from so high up is quite something. Granada (minus the wheather) does go to my "places to live for 3 month" list .

 We enjoyed the whole day at the Alhambra even though it was -1 degree and with a ticket for 7:00 am!!! I can understand why people would come from all over the world to see such a magnificent place but I must say that having being at the Taj Mahal at the beginning of this trip and to  Morocco a few years ago have taken the OMG element of it.
