Granada

We went to Granada, of course, to go to the Al Hambra. And it was worth it. Wonderful Arabic buildings and gardens and Spanish style buildings that were added after the Arabs were finally defeated.
I did not realise how much Granada is a city built in the high hills. It is surrounded by mountains - many were covered with snow - apparently they are high enough to have snow on them all year round - which is quite something considering how hot this part of Spain becomes in the summer.
We went to the Central Market and bought some high quality fruit at very cheap prices. A kilo of oranges cost 79 cents - and they were fabulous, sweet and juicy - not like the ones we have to buy in England. We went to Malaga by bus. It was another great trip - 2 hours through the Sierra Nevada.
