But completely worth it. In Europe, the general rule of thumb seems to be that everything worth seeing is up a hill. Well, that's not completely true, but many many cool things do happen to be perched up there. Like pretty views.
First hill we climbed was on the way to Carmen de los Martires, my favorite garden. The following two pictures were taken mid-climb.
I'll spare you another round of fountain pictures, etc... But from the purple flowers, you can not escape.
Nor from the peacocks...
The next hill to climb was to the Albayzín, to the Mirador de San Nicolas (which has, according to Bill Clinton, the best view in the world), to see the Alhambra in all its glory.
...the Alhambra was lit up...
...and we went to a flamenco show, from which I have no pictures, unfortunately.
It was a lovely couple of days of strolling and eating and basking in the heat and sun... and of course simply enjoying being in Granada.
Good stuff, Abus! Thank you for taking the time to put these pictures (and the equally fun commentary) up on your blog. Especially with all of the lost and stolen cameras, it is great to see your pictures of Ronda and Sevilla and Cadiz ... and your always excellent pictures of beloved Granada. You have earned another blog break. Love, Dad
ResponderEliminarDon't worry, I have many many more pictures where those came from, so even with lost cameras, I think we're pretty covered in the photo department.
