Introducing Granada

First full day in the magical south of Spain. After settling in last night, having a pretty good sleep (for me) and catching up on blogs etc this morning, I decided to go for a walk to see what I could find. First stop was the school so I know where to go tomorrow - it is very close about 7 mins walk. I then discovered the river which has a wonderful shaded path along both sides so decided to follow it for a far as I could. 3 kilometres later, I decided I'd better turn around and get back home for lunch. From my first taste of wandering around, I can't wait to explore the rest. I really think 8 weeks here is not going to be enough!

Below are some photos from my walk.

  1. Now you are entering territory we were in when we went to Seville some years ago. From memory the Alhambra is in Granada and the town of Ronda not too far away. We camped in the local park in town. I am sure you will get to know it much better than we did. When we were there I recall it was so so hot 40C from memory- much hotter than Morocco- but a dry heat.

  2. PS I also recalled acres and acres of olive groves with wind turbines dispersed among the groves
