Adventures in Spanish 2013: Another side to Granada

After 4 weeks exploring Granada, it would seem improbable that there are still yet more places to find. However, that happens to be the case. Today, I set off without my map and just wandered around, taking a chance on what I might find. I found some new plazas with cute little bars and restaurants, bookshops (don't worry, on Sunday they are closed), and after climbing another hill near the Alhambra, I found my way to the Carmen de Los Martires (Garden of the Martyrs). Not only is it a beautiful park, with lots of trees, walking paths and different water features, including a small aqueduct, it is high enough to have a wonderful view of the city and the surrounding mountains. You can also see the Alhambra from the top.

And, Granada is just as wonderful by night as well. See pictures below.
