Al hambra - world heritage site and for good reason. It's a hill top city really, with multiple palaces, a fortress, remains of the city dwellings that supported the court, and the amazing gardens (of both the productive orchards/fields and decorative relaxation varieties) complete with its careful crafted, ahead of its time, hydro-engineering system.
Mr M with the fancy camera has the best shots but here are more than a few:
 |
| A delicate spring had arrived, even though it was markedly chillier in Granada than the rest of Andalucia |
 |
| Emperor Charles V or Carlos I's later contribution |
 |
If you are wondering about the white audio guide that I am holding at chest level,
it was to indicate to Sophie how to frame her shot |
 |
| My lovely fella on the fortress ramparts |
 |
| The plus side of the very rainy Monday was a stunning view of the new snow on the Sierra Nevada on Tuesday |
We didn't explore much beyond the al hambra in Granada (see comment on rainy day) but we did find a vegan restaurant (with some lovely diners who split their lives between Granada and Turin), ate some great (slow) tapas, did our laundry (yay), and I went to a tiny new museum on the history of Sephardic Jews (and what a history it is!).
