Melia Granada Hotel

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 ...

Three days was just right for Granada. Next morning, we’ll leave for the airport (3 Euro bus) and pick up our Ford Fusion to drive 83km east/south to the coast and our next stop: Nerja. It will be a day at the beach and to collect stones in the Med. The Romans called it Mare Nostrum – or Our Sea.

... back in his day. The first shop didn't have it so he kindly offered to take me to another, tho we would have to hurry as it was coming close to siesta time. I really enjoyed the zooming tour and watched the city get more ragged and dirty as we left tourist town. After I purchased the adaptor (0.90E), we stopped for some tapas and I had a nice visit with my new friend. He told me all about his days back in the fruit exporting business and I asked him about my beloved cherimoyas. He ...

... fortress portion of the Alhambra reveals their old age and ruggedness. Outside the palaces the Generalife gardens were a great example of elegant landscape design, with many orange trees irrigated by the snow-melt waters of nearby mountains through intricate channel systems. It shows there are much treasures to be learned from Islamic and Jewish art.
