Our time at the beach was over, and we were off to Granada. I was happy to be out of tacky tourist town, but to be honest, I knew absolutely nothing about Granada. I guess that's one reason to travel, though--to learn.
Granada already looked neat from the bus windows. We arrived at our hotel, Hotel Carmen. Right away we went to see the Alhambra. I definitely believe this is the most visited monument in Spain, as the tour guide said; we had to wait in a really long line to enter! Once w...
So I'm really late with this because the weekend we went to Granada was Oct. 2nd. I could tell that since I had a bit of a cough I was going to get sick if I didn't get enough sleep and of course being that were in Granada, I wasn't going to get enough sleep. Also, Cristina was my roommate and so every time we would try and siesta we would just end up talking some more. Which was nice, I am so glad that Cristina and I became friends. I didn't think there would be anyone worth knowing on this ...
Granada, Andalusia, Spain jessicahwangHello! Sorry it cut off so abruptly last time but the cafe was closing and I had to go. I pay one Euro for each hour I use the computer, each one has some sort of timer and mine was down to zero. Yesterday we left Madrid and drove to Granada. We stopped in Toledo for a quick visit to the cathedral and some shopping. That seems to be what everyone wants to do. Well, they seem to want to sleep late but that just doesn´t happen on this part of the trip (sigh, I would love a 9 or 10 am wake-up ca...

... 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 ...
Granada, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands skivail89... it and was glad I went to the Mezquita before seeing the Alhambra in Granada so that I could really appreciate it for what it was.<br>The red and white striped arches of the mezquita were lovely but the church plunked right in the middle of the place really rubbed me the wrong way. It didn´t belong there and ruined the aura of the whole building. Excluding the church part, I really enjoyed it. There was also a garden of orange trees right outside the ...
Granada, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands juliannamargare... how amazing traveling is and the random things you stumble upon that fill you will joy. After 4 hours or so we said our goodbyes to the crew at the bar and went to a different bar for a couple tapas. AMAZING.<br><br>The next morning we went to the famous Mezquita of Córdoba. The church turned mosque turned church again. It was pretty cool. The red and white striped arches were lovely but the church plunked right in the middle of the place really rubbed me the ...
Granada, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands juliannamargareJ'arrive à la montagne, dans les Alpujarras, après plusieurs heures de vélo et aussi un peu de bus: Je suis accueillie au village par Jordi, fermier bio espagnol. Nous avons convenus que je resterais une semaine avec eux et qu'on verrait par la suite: Grande tranquillité dans cet endroit. Je fais la connaissance de sa femme, Lore, suisse-allemande de Zurich et de leurs 2 enfants, un garçon de 10 ans, Rama, et une fille de 8 ans, Tara ...
Orgiva, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands debdeb80... fine and have all the things i need to be comfortable.<br> Last week we went to a teteria (tea house) and got to see a traditional Moroccan tea ceremony and hear stories from 1001 Arabian nights. It was a little cheesy but very very fun! I got to try belly dancing and I made my friend Merete try it too! Later that week we went on a walk up into the Albaicin which is the oldest part of town. It is very beautiful with ...
Granada, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands mrg8920Granada, just as it was back in the day, is one of the greatest strongholds in Espana. Today it is no longer a stronghold for the Muslims, but still remains to be a stronghold of complementary tapas with drinks. That is one heck of a stronghold if you ask me ...
Granada, Spain sant2003... I must say that the meat here tastes much more authentic then in the states. and their ketchup tastes more like pasta marinara sauce. I only need 5 packets for one serving of spaggetti (very helpful to know for when you run out of tomato sauce and can't find a grocery store). -I must remember to recharge my camera BEFORE I get to the huge tourist site that required you to walk 45 min. uphill in the heat, and then wait in line for tickets ...
