The Granados in Granada

The four of us started out early in our rented car to visit Granada; a city with that name could not be all that bad.  Granada is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada.  The Alhambra palace complex was the seat of power of the sultans that ruled Spain for centuries, until the Christians conquered in 1492.  The Alhambra is very well conserved for its age, and it’s the best example of Islamic architecture in Europe. We would like to spend more time there but our tour was cut short due to rain. We deiced to drive back a taking a different route so we made our way south across the Sierra Nevada Mountains, eventually reaching the coast. We stopped off in Nerja a small Mediterranean town that reminded us of Italy we walked out on the Balcon de Europa (Europe’s Balcony) a pier that juts out on the Mediterranean with a great view of the Spanish coast. After a nice dinner we got back on the road, driving thru a horrendous downpour that made the trip longer then it should been, but we eventually made it home.
