Granada

On Friday we hopped back into the bus and took another 3 1/2 hours to get to Granada. A very different city than the others. Unlike most of Spain, Granada is not a Catholic city. Actually, it´s Muslim populated which gives it a very different feel. As we were walking the streets when we arrived, we got to hear the call to prayer given at the main mosque in town. Pretty cool! We also saw many markets (we got to haggle for the price!), gypsies trying to sell us this and that, and lots of outdoor bands in the plazas.

This is a distant picture of the Alhambra, which we went and visited the on Saturday. It´s the ancient Muslim complex with mosques, gardens, harems, etc. I´ll talk more about it when I post the pictures from the Alhambra excursion, but I thought this was an amazing photo the entire thing.
