Granada is a city that I've dreamed of visiting for a long time. This, my first visit, involved a fairly long drive from the coast at Fuengirola, so we were somewhat restricted as to how to spend our time. We chose to visit the Alhambra, a fortress, gardens and palace complex that sits on a hill above the city.
Garden sculptures on the path leading from one entrance to the palaces.
I think the bird chose the right end to hold.

The cave dwellings at the top of the Albaicin, but still inside the wall: safe.

ReplyDeleteTo the people that are planning to enjoy of Granada Spain, I recommend to stay in a great hostel. The White Nest is located a few meters of Paseo De Los Tristes in the millennium neighborhood of Albaycin . From the hostel you got everything close, the Alhambra Palace, the tapas road, the sacromonte, everything!! You`ve got to check Hostels Granada
