My class went to La Alhambra this afternoon. It was a compulsory part of the course- how sad ha ha!
La Alhambra is a Moorish Palace on a hill overlooking Granada. Our guide, who speaks Arabic (as well as Spanish por supuesto!) told us that La Alhambra means 'The Rock' in Arabic.
It was extremely hot, even at 4.30 in the afternoon when our tour started. We didn't finish until 8pm and it was Still hot! Four of us shared a taxi to and from the palace as it is quite a distance from our hotel, and we wanted to conserve our energy for the tour.
I was disgusted to see a women scratching at the stone decorations - and I told her so!
The gardens are lovely at this time of the year, unlike when Hannah and I were there a couple of years ago. Sorry this next photo is sideways, I forgot to change it before uploading and I have to go to my class now. More photos soon.
Love the photos and it looks a wonderful place to visit. It sounds as though all goes well.:):)
