Just trotting through the streets!
The diversity of culture and landscape in Spain is astonishing and we haven’t even visited half of the country yet. Granada ……if you haven’t been here, make sure you add it to your next visit to Europe.
The Alhambra is astonishing- the gardens, the mosaics - it’s all magical and we topped it by seeing flamenco a few nights back in Sacremonte, the gypsy quarter of Granada! The city at night comes alive, throbbing with people and to sit in a square high up and look across at the Alhambra lit up at night - takes your breath away. We found the perfect place to stay (if you have a car) Hotel Macia Real de la Alhambra or a perfect place (we think) in the city of you don’t arrive by car Hotel Museo Palacio Mariana Pineda, oh and for you bigger budget people, the truly perfect place, Parador de Granada San Francisco!
We also hit Granada during Feria week -celebration of Corpus Cristi-and had a fun night with the locals at open air restaurants with dance floors set up and everyone dancing, drinking, eating - no-one seems to sleep in Spain!
