Albaycín




Albaycín is the old Arab portion of Granada. It was founding around the 11th century and has been here since. It is located on a mountain, and the rain was collected that way. Here are some pictures. The top one is me on the way up, with the Alhambra behind me. The second is Granada, from the top, the next is the sun setting on the Alhambra, and the last is the Alhambra lit by night with my new friends Anita and Brittany. More posts to follow soon as we sent to Sacromonte today and tonight to a flamenco fiesta! Hasta Luego, J

I see a pattern here. I notice you have 6 new friends and it appears that 5 are girls, lol.

Gorgeous. I'm jealous. It's a little nicer than my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Unless decrepit brick buildings and litter is your thing.
