Day 8: June 23, 2016
Hi everyone!!
Tales of the Alhambra... Wish I could be such a writer as Irving, but anyway, I'll do my best...
And of course, this has been a day dedicated to the city of Granada and the well known palace of the Alhambra, with the gardens of Generalife.
The kingdom of Granada was the last to be reconquered in 1492, and the influence of the Muslim kingdom has remained in centuries. The Alhambra still has the beauty of the silent palace, the mountain snowed in the back, the city of Granada below. Absolutely amazing.
We all visited the rooms inside the palace with Elena and Marta, the local guides, and when we got out, we went downtown to have some lunch, then slme free time and finally to the hotel for the check in and dinner. Then after dinner I took whoever wanted to join on a walking tour by the Albaicin quarter to St. Nicolas viewpoint.... check the pictures. Probably, one of the most beautiful sights in Spain.
