I'm in Granada right now having the time of my life. The best weather, mountains to hike in, a Moorish fortress and lots of small streets to walk through, getting lost amongst the white washed houses. The city is amazing, having been the last city of the Moors who moved everything here and made their last stand before Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand came in and reconquered Granada. Yep, that's the same two who sent Columbus off on his journeys.
Today the weather was in the high 80s, and I spent the time hiking through the Sierra Nevada mountains. Yesterday we hiked up past the gypsy caves to an abandoned abbey high up on a hill with views of everything. Everywhere you go, you can see the Alhambra, the Moorish fortress, quite different from what I see in Germany.
Later today we're off to Madrid to explore more of Spain, then off to Salamanca tomorrow morning to couch surf and see the golden city. Sabrina leaves for Africa in a week, so we're making it a great last week throughout Spain.
Pictures coming soon, but you can google any of the cities and see pics.
