Sacromonte

On Friday morning, we walked/hiked up Sacromonte, one of the high hills surrounding Granada. A little geography: Granada is in a valley - that means hot days and cool nights! Here are pictures of me with some new friends - with the mountains/hills in the background. The courtyard in Sacromonte. Sacromonte used to serve as a religious palace, and is very carefully preserved because of this. The other is a picture of the sunrise of the Alhambra (actual Alhambra pictures to come soon). The last is a 'wild' aloe plant - grows locally here! Imagine is those in our houses in the States got this size! J
