Granada - La Alhambra

The castle, palaces, and gardens at the top of the hill in Granada collectively make up La Alhambra, its a 9th century Muslim castle which, still today, is one of the most amazing places...ever. So i spent one entire day just wandering around this 4 square kilometer area: looking, watching, listening, pondering...it was quite nice. Even still, i wish i could have spent a couple of weeks in Granada, it has been one of my favorite cities, and its funny to me because, i didnt even plan on going to Granada, i was supposed to go to Gibralter from Toledo, but i changed my mind at the VERY last minute...in the train station, and im very glad i did. This entire post is for my visit to La Alhambra...enjoy!
