We really enjoyed our time in Granada, its quieter pace and beautiful old buildings.
Sights
- Looking around Granada there was lovely busking, churches and old cobblestone streets
- Really nice river and plazas to sit in and some downtime making spanish omlettes in our apartment and reading.
- Giant bauble, three kings (they celebrate 3 kings bringing gifts ratehr than Santa) and Christmas markets (this is about Christmas market #15 for the trip so far)
- Full day skiing in the Sierra Nevada (45 min bus trip). So beautiful! Nathan had a morning of lessons with me and then killed it in the afternoon.
- The Alhambra! The main attraction in Granada, it is a palace and fortress complex. It is beautiful and huge, lots of big peaceful pools. You had to book a few months in advance to get in.
Eats
Finally shared a Churros after eyeing them off for a few days, it is a no from Kirsten (too fried, chocolate sauce not chocolatey enough) and a 6.5/10 from Nathan.
Granada torte (typical to Granada) was delicious! Mix between a chocolate crepe and croissant. Disappointed that it is only typical to Granada…
Nathan has found his favourite treat, the Palmera- it gets a 10/10 from him. Note the look of love.
Spanish customs we have adopted
While we are generally fairly early dinner eaters we have really enjoyed the late dinners of Spain. Everything is still open and happening and people are out. Most eat around 9pm ish.
While neither of us are big on alcohol we have loved the Sangria, in Granada you order a drink and get a free mystery tapas dish, it is very exciting! James and Fiona kindly shouted us dinner from Australia as a Christmas present so we have enjoyed lots of yummy tapas in Granada.
Next stop- Sevilla!
