Triunfo - Granada

... did that. With the group I usually get a little frustrated and wish that I was off on my own, especially if it is the first time that I´ve been somewhere. Anyhow, I walked down the road to a plaza and the first thing that I really noticed about Granada was all of the trees. They were so big and they weren´t palm trees. From that point on I knew that Granada was going to have a different feel than Malaga. It was also neat seeing a kiosk in the ...

... with the intent to go somewhere, anywhere within a few hours from Málaga and stay for the night. <br>We ended up choosing Córdoba. Here is a little wikipedia blurb about it if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Córdoba,_S pain<br>The bus trip there was very scenic while the sun was still up. We arrived after dark and walked towards the centro hístorico to search for a hostal. We ended up staying at a really art-oriented albergue ran by the ...

In all honesty I am not sure how I feel about Granada, I liked it but did not love it. Granada is about 3 hours outside of Sevilla. It is amazing how much the scenery changed in a jest a few hundred kilometers. The city is absolutely beautiful, vibrant and full of culture. <br><br>We started off by dropping off everything at our hostel, which was nothing special just a building with rooms full of beds in the heart ...

... travail, je peux laisser mes pensées venir puis les laisser s'en aller... je récolte du maïs, puis désherbe le champ à la pioche; je grimpe dans les arbres pour cueillir des oranges (mmmhhh que de bonnes odeurs et de goûts délicieux); je désherbe un canal pour amener l'eau de la montagne dans les champs; je récolte du basilic, des amandes et je fais du pesto maison!!! mmmhh que c'est bon d'être en contact avec la terre qui me nourrit...

... so when we come across a vegetarian restaurant, we never pass it up. We all shared a few dishes like greek salad, hummus, mushroom croquettes, and of course, patatas bravas (absolute all time favorite Spanish tapa).     The next day, we met up with Charlie's friend so she could give us a tour around the city. We walked through the big plazas to the Internation Market. It had a great variety of foods from Spain, Greece, France, Morocco, Jamaica, and others. It ...

... self up a 3400 meter mountain which is Mulhencen (Also the highest point of mainland Spain!) When i got word that there was actually a commune of drifters and hippie types living in the foot hills, i was stoked to have a new found sense of purpose to my visit :-) I parted ways with all the cool kids i met at the guest house and set of early. i went first to an Internet cafe where i met Amy and Kerryn :-) low and behold they were also considering the idea of ...

... order to attract the family crowd.....but I tell you this....families have no place in a hostal! Hostal's are places for the young and single to gather and drink the cheapest version of the local plonk.....to chuckle at the poor production values of the local TV station and to most importantly ........have some money left over!!! Another example of kids ruining things for the rest of us.....the other major one being football ...

... club people here: Macarena, a Spanish girl who wants to live in Finland (had to meet her :), Satu, her Finnish friend living in Granada and Elias, an american guy who lived for some years in Morocco and along with his Moroccan flatmate Hassan made me and Betuca some excellent tea and food. It was great to eat there using our hands while listening to Moroccan music. Really some perfect three days.

... which was all closed for the afternoon. Back to the hotel around 3:30pm for rest, reading, nap. In evening, Eduardo returned &#8211; he and Ann went to the convention centre (next door) to check on their set-up. It was after 21.00h when Ann was done. She and I then set out for town for dinner at a café. Very few people were out and about. We had a quick &#8211; inexpensive &#8211; dinner (no coffee), then returned to the hotel. Read until midnight. Sleep.<br><br><br>
