Hotel Macia Monasterio De Los Basilios Granada

... fall I saw colors of Autumn. I love it. When we arrived to Granada the first thing that went through my head was that it was quite different than Malaga. The bus drive parked the bus in front of our hotel which was in the center of the city and we had about ten minutes to go to the bathroom. I did that but then I thought that I would have gotten a better first experience in Granada by quickly leaving the group and walking down the road. I´m glad ...

... stopping to check out El Chorro we made our way to Granada where we stayed from Friday to Sunday evening. It was a lot colder in Granada than in Málaga. It has not gotten chillier than 60s in Málaga but in Granada it felt like 40s or low 50s. Still, it is no Minnesota winter&#8230;<br><br>In Granada with every drink you buy they serve tapas for free. So you can easily eat without actually paying for any food. And that is basically what we did all weekend ...

... cathedrals and squares as well as very modern and talented graffiti all over the walls on both sides of the city. For lunch I met up with Naima and we visited several sights and talked about our lives. Before sunset she took me up the narrow labrynth of the old city to a look out point called La mirador where you can view the whole city. This square sat behind a cathedral and the ledge was covered every inch by locals and tourists. A man played flamenco ...

J'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 ...

... the renaissance an Italian architect to construct at the Alambrah a palace for him. The result is a clearly Italian looking palace which is square on the outside, circular in the middle, beautifully constructed and unfinished. The king changed his mind, built his palace instead in Madrid and the building has remained empty. It is beautiful in its classical simplicity but lacks the ambience of most places we have seen. Now the Moorish palace is quite ...

... grab our ticket ... and was lectured about how we were about to miss our tour. Raced along the paths to the Nasrid Palaces - poor Mum; she was exhausted ... but we made it ... with less than 10 minutes to spare ... but we made it. The Palaces are as magnificent as I remember - intricate, haunting, luscious, intimidating. We took our time, gazing at the ceilings, comparing the detail of various niches, photographing details, peering into blocked off ...

... che ci da mille informazioni. Ci consiglia di prenotare all'Alhambra (solo due caproni come noi potevano dimenticarsi di farlo). Non riusciamo a prenotare l'intera visita, ma l'aiuto di Pepe si rivelerà utilissimo l'indomani, quando riusciremo ad entrare e a vedere tutto. Ci prenota anche l'Hostal Venecia a Granada e ci consiglia di visitare, nel prosieguo della vacanza, Castellar de la Frontera. A Pepe va la nostra più affettuosa ...

Efter morgonpromenad, dusch och frukost (precis som hemma) åkte vi iväg med gps:en inställd på Granada. Ett fantastiskt landskap men snöklädda berg i fonden - Sierra Nevada. Vackra blommande mandelodlingar efter hela vägen och ett landskap som ibland förde tankarna till Grand Canyon i USA. Vi kom till Granada vid 16-tiden och hittade ett trevligt hotell. Efter att vi checkat in gick vi ut på stan, letade oss fram till gamla stadskärnan vid ...

Spain historically influenced by the Islamic culture at its best. Having read a few books on mediaeval Europe I was very keen to see Cordoba and Granada with its famous Alhambra. It was a long way down the coast so we broke it and stopped overnight at one of the freeway's rest areas to arrive in Granada about midday on the 3rd of May. There was work in progress on freeway exits near Granada with some of them closed ...
