Granada is the home of the Alhambra, a Moorish castle and later the summer home of Charles V. It is fortress on a cliff overlooking the city of Granada. It is one of most famous examples of Islamic architecture. After the Christians reconquered this part of Spain, Ferdinand and Isabella moved the capital to Granada. This is the spot where Christopher Columbus received his orders to 'Go West young man' and find a route to India to avoid those nasty Turks. Some say he succeeded.

After a nice dinner with a great view we strolled back to the hotel to prepare for our tour of the Alhambra tomorrow. Hope it isn't too hot.
Just kidding. The weather has been really good, no rain and nice temps.

The town of Granada is a tourist heaven. If you go to a bar and order a drink, they always bring you a tapa for free which is a small snack. Every time you order a drink you get another tapa. Three or four drinks and you've had dinner. And you have a hard time walking home. Wonderful tapas customs in Granada.
Good ice cream too.
Every one of us dreams of having dinner with that view!
