We visited the Alhambra, a Muslim palace. It was amazing! Here are pictures from our tour.
James relaxing at a typical outdoor cafe. This was after our tour of the Alhambra. Sorry for the out of order pictures!
James and the Sierra Nevada behind him. Hard to see with so much sunshine! There was snow on the mountains and it was 90 degrees in Granada.
One of the many ponds on the grounds. We were amazed at the structures for water running throughout the palace. Fountains, streams, ponds. Very nice to hear running water throughout the hot morning.
Lots of detail on a ceiling inside the palace. It was all carved! Amazing details.
There was a part with a circular courtyard. We climbed the stairs to be on the second floor of it. Here's the ceiling.
While we were there, a group of tourists stood in the center of the courtyard and sang a hymn. Made me cry! It sounded amazing with the acoustics of the courtyard. A hawk even flew above us while they were singing.
Me and Granada in the background.
