... again. This time ignoring sprukers we hoped in our own one. He took us almost to where we were going but pointed us down the wrong street (all streets being tiny, winding ad identical). "Luckily" someone was there to "help us out". Again we knew it was a scam but had no choice. Told him we had a reservation but took us to his commission earning hotel all the same. Thankfully next he took us to the hostel. Asked us for a tip, ...
Granada,you've got me under you spell

All of the morning slots were gone by the time we got up there, but we got a slot for 4:30 pm. By 8:30, all the tickets were gone and the line was still pretty ...
Tapas, sangrias and so much rain
... place, with a very evident hippy vibe that the city is very keen to cling to. The fact that it is filled with tapas bars and is one of the last bastions of free tapas makes it cheap and filling to eat and drink all through the city.
Granada was a fantastic city but getting there was not exactly a pleasant experience. The day we left Rome I was feeling really unwell. An hour on the bus to get to the airport, a 2 ˝ hour flight to Malaga and another 2 ˝ hour bus ride ...
