... also amazing. We made our way to a park, which had so many trees, and there was an exhibit on the environment. I thought it was cool how there was a picture there of Canyon de Chelly all the way in Spain. I don't even thing Canyon de Chelly is a well known place in general. After walking around I really wanted some famous free tapas and we got some. A euro fifty for a cana and a free tapa. They gave me some kind of chicken and vegetables. It was ...

... A plaza in front of a church) which has an outstanding view of the Alhambra. Sean got kind of lost leading us there, but we got to see a lot of cute streets in Granada because of it. We wandered through the hills of the city and into a neighborhood called Sacramonte (arguably the place where flamenco was born). Walking through the streets we were greeted by the echos of clapping, guitar, and other sounds of flamenco. It was brilliant. Finally we arrived ...

... Sacramonte (arguably the place where flamenco was born). Walking through the streets we were greeted by the echos of clapping, guitar, and other sounds of flamenco. It was brilliant. Finally we arrived at Mirador San Nicolas and just sat staring at the lit up Alhambra in all of its glory! We decided to go to a rooftop bar for one more drink and more gazing at the Alhambra and then called it a night.<br><br>We stayed in Granada from Friday to Sunday evening ...

... cheap which is great for us college students. You can order a beer or sangria for 1.50 euros and with it you get a tapa (which is like an appetizer). Unfortunately usually you don&#8217;t get to choose what the tapa is and so we&#8217;ve had some pretty strange things before! <br><br>On our own some friends and I have explored some different areas in Granada. The people here seem pretty friendly and even though there can sometimes be a language barrier we can ...

... to a bar to eat some Tapas and watch the Barcalona - Chelsea Euro Cup semifinal game.  If Barca tied they'd advance but it didn't look good.  They were down 1-0 for the majority of the game, and got hit with a controversial red card that left them a man down.  The ref allotted 4 minutes of extra time and with less than a minute of extra time remaining; Barca set up what everyone understood was their last chance.  The ball was passed around the box before Barca dropped it to a ...

... better were the snow-capped Sierra Neveda Mountains in the background of the view amidst an incredibly sunny day. The scene was filled with some eclectic people selling 'chocolates', jewelry, and other crafts while others danced, played music, and blew bubbles. It was quite the scene at 4:00pm with people of many ages-middle school to senior citizens-just hanging out and enjoying the view. We certainly were. After taking some pictures, we sat at the local restaurant and ...

... they took over the area in 711. In 1492, the Muslim rulers of Granada were forcefully taken over by the Christian reconquista of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. Later in this same year, a fellow by the name of Christopher Columbus met Queen Isabella in one of the rooms of the Alhambra to speak about his plans of discovering "The New World". Needless to say, it was a big year for the King and Queen! One of the ...

... room. There was a swipey card to get into the hostel and the room. Downstairs was free internet, a lounge, an outdoor courtyard, and a bar where the first drink was free. The rooms were very clean and everyone was friendly. It was great. They offered free walking tours as well, but I needed to leave early the next morning, so I couldn't go on one. I dropped off my backpack and headed out. I didn't have any specific plan for ...
