Day 17: Granada
We stayed in Granada two nights, seeing the incomparable Alhambra and doing the usual tourist things. There are a million accounts of the Alhambra, so I won’t waste words on another one. I will share my favorite story from our visit though. As we like to do, we arrived right at opening time in the Alhambra and were almost the first visitors. For a few brief moments we nearly had the place to ourselves, which was of course amazing and awe inspiring. Soon though I heard rustling behind me and turned around to see that a Japanese tour group had arrived and were lining the railing on the balcony above us. As I remember now, it seemed like there were about 200 of them lined up, all with their cameras pointed down in my direction.
Just for completeness I’m including our photos from this visit, uncaptioned; but if you want more detail you might check out the much more developed account of our second visit to Granada.
