Granada

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...

Me gusta Granada, pero Alicante es mi hogar

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...and wherever we were yesterday.

Hello! 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...

And we thought Madrid had good tapas...

Granada is a pretty crazy city, a mix of part Morocco, part Andalucia, part Jewish, toss in some tourists, tapas, and trendy shops and you´ve got a good city. When we arrived, we were fourtunate that our awesome hostel served dinner. Spanish meat (so yes, it was pig), cooked in a huge Paella-type pan with rice and some homemade sangria, and we thought we would never have to leave the hostel! (They had free breakfast and internet too). But, the ...

Getting my "blood" flowing!

... we ate a pretty interesting lunch. When they put it out none of us really knew what it was. It looked like some sort of dark meat sausage. Other people wanted to know what it was but I made sure no one told me and just dove right in. I’m happy I did because it tasted really good! Turns out it was blood sausage, sounds pretty gross but it’s actually yummy! I ate 2 of them and I’ll definitely eat them again if they’re served ...

Strike one from my bucket list -- hello Granada!

... Alhambra told us about 2 spots so off we go….

First was Cartuja Church (17th Century) on the outskirts of town beside the University of Granada. The bus gets you to these places inside of 15 min. Later in the day, we bused to the old part of town, the Albayzin, with especially narrow streets twisting like spaghetti over the cap of a hill.

We were told to go to St. Nicholas, a church ...

... tinto verano and were given these Spanish Omelet sandwiches with ketchup and some white sauce on them. They weren't too bad, but kind of weird. I then got an Alhambra beer, Wiz got another tinto, and Rebeca got a Corona. The tapa that we got with it was meatballs with bread and french fries. They were pretty good too. The alhambra beer had a little bit of a bitter aftertaste, but did taste familiar. I couldn't place it ...

... too out in the open where i'll be arrested" place to sleep. there is a huge main cathedral in the middle of the little town and part of it was under construction, so i found a way through the fence and thought i had found a perfect and protected spot to crash when i heard a beeping and a tiny red light flashing. so naturally i booked it and about a block and a half away the alarms finally went off. im pretty ...

Amazing Alhambra

My flight arrived in Granada soon after 7pm, and from the moment I left the plane I could feel the difference between Andalusia and Catalonia. However, it wasn't all those typical southern Spanish things I came to see in Granada. Those were left for Seville! From the 13th to 15th centuries, Granada was the capital of the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, and even today it has the greatest Muslim legacy in the country, being home to one of the most magnificent ...

Granada Week 1

... intercambio is around 10 years old than me I think. She is studying medicine so she needs to learn english because all the medical books are in english. She also wants to go england for a rotation and work there so improving her english is very important to her. I think so far we have practiced more english than spanish because in my opinion I have many more opportunities to practice here than she does :) I experienced the 'night life' for the second time last night. I am sure some of ...
