Words asre not sufficient to describe the magnificent Alhambra that we visited today in Grenada. We took a day tour ftom Seville and it was perfect way to do this as we did not have to drive or wait in line. The palaces are amazing with the beautiful Moorish decor. We had a small group and a small bus which is better. I took so many pictures!!
I also think this would be a great place to bring students and discuss how remembered and societies as well as religions. I was very impressed with tour guides who were very impartial and cosmopolitan in sharing how at one time all lived together peacefully.
It did begin to rain heavily near end of tour. We did not sign up for Albycin tour but it was cancelled anyway. Instead I had wanted to see the cathedral and burial place of Isabella and Ferdinand! And I saw both. The cathedral was huge. We did have to wait until 3pm to see it and that meant only time for coffee break but was worth it.
Back to Seville on the bus and then dinner with a big drink and sherry after! Love those fortified wines are especially on cold rainy days like today.
Tomorrow day trip to Cordoba...
