Don't forget to check out my posts under here for Cordoba and Madrid! The next stop on this southern tour of Spain was Granada, an absolutely amazing city! Granada was built on a moutain, and near other mountains, ther scenery here was absolutely gorgeous. Also, Granada has the last gem of the Shiite family: The Alahambra. The Shiites of Islam helped Christian Spain over throw the rule of another Islamic family, and thus, were allowed to build their palace and remain in Spain in Granada. The Alahambra is a beautiful kingdom, complete with miles of gardens.
Street lamps in Granada are really nice aren't they? These would be destroyed in America haha.
REAL gypsy territory. I think modern gypsies just mean hippies, because they all wear tie-die and smoke marijuana everywhere! We were eating at a cafe next to where I took this picture, and every table around us was smoking marijuana!
El Gato Negro! Pj and I studied this fellow, he is all over the city, and we don't know what he means, below is his meaning, but I can't read it.
If you know what it says, comment on this post and let me know!
