Granada

What a wonderful city! It was love at first sight! Kari, Cathrine and I enjoyed the great (kind of Spanish) atmosphere in the city, and spent several hours at the impressive Alhambra palace. A fascinating place that truly showed the Arabic influence and history...

In the Alhambra gardens!

The view from one of the (Alhambra?) castles! Me gusta Granada!
Back in the city centre, trying to find a tapas restaurant (not easy!), we passed a Catholic celebration of some kind. There was a big marching band playing really annoying instruments, and someone were holding this big Maria statue. Forgive my lack of knowledge of Catholic saints and celebration. If a reader of the blog knows what this is; please let me know! (Somehow it made me think of the opening scenes of the film "East is East"...)

It has been a great week with Kari and Cathrine. This morning Pedro and I drove them all the way to Marbella Bus Station. Below are some images from their week here in Nueva Andalucia.

It is half term now, which means a week off work. Great! Can't wait to see Oda, my sister and my mum again on Thursday. They're staying five days, and I hope the weather will remain as fantastic as it has been the past three days. Lovely sunshine! :)
