Granada, Spain

Our third stop in Spain was in Granada, a smaller city best known for the Alhambra. I really liked the city, but we only stayed there for two nights because outside of seeing the Alhambra there didn't seem to be a whole lot that was particularly special about it.

One cool thing about that city was that with any drink that you ordered in any restaurant or bar in the city, you received a free tapa (essentially a small appetizer). This was usually something like sausage, cheese on bread, chips, etc, but they were all really good, and drinks were only about 2-3 Euro so it was relatively cheap.

The city itself was very artsy, with stone roads, colorful buildings, musicians playing, and lots of plazas. It was very laid back and relaxing.





Here is a view of the Alhambra from point San Nicolas, a church at the top of the Arabic district.



Inside the Alhambra is quite impressive, with palaces, huge gardens, outdoor theatres, etc. It was pretty amazing.













All in all, a pretty cool city.
