Granada

Today was a relatively simple day on our journey (and fantastic!). We headed to Granada for the day. Granada is/was influenced by Arabs more than any other town in Spain; it was the last Moorish town to fall to Catholic Spain. The Alhambra is one of Spain's most significant sites and so much of the Arab influnce has been preserved. We spent the whole morning touring the Generalife and it's gardens, the Nashrid Palaces, the Palacio de Charles V, etc. The whole Alhambra and Generalife complex is beyond words/description. Pay it a visit someday. After our long tour, we headed to Granada center and split up for a three-hour "free time" session. Lots of shopping was done! We headed back to our hotel on the beach in Torremolinos saying goodbye to Granada and the stunning snow capped Sierra Nevada. The evening was full of good old beach and hotel fun. Tomorrow, off to Nerja.
