Granada

We arrived in Granada early this afternoon and went on a long walk from our hotel, a former monastery, around the Alhambra and back through the city.  Along the way we met two young American women living in Seville and teaching English.  They walked with us to Plaza de San Nicolas, to enjoy the view of the Alhambra with the Sierra Nevada Mountain backdrop. The experience was particularly enjoyable as there was a flamenco guitarist playing on the wall.

We had lunch at an outside cafe below the Alhambra, then visited the Cathedral of Granada, 
and various plazas along the way, enjoying local music and flamenco dancers.  
It seemed that everyone in Granada was out enjoying the day.
