So the last stop on my amazing Spain trip was in Granada! We had quite the overnight train ride to get there which might have felt a little claustrophobic! The train was pretty tiny- Once we got to Granada though it was beautiful! Love the south of Spain- has a totally different feel that is very unique and exotic.
The streets were narrow and we were in the part of Granada called Albaicin which was super old and awesome
This was the view out of our window– Airbnb is awesome and it worked perfectly for our trip
We ate plenty of gelato- yum
The city was pretty quiet and had a very romantic feel
But the main attraction is the beautiful Alhambra which was originally built in the 1st century
The garden’s were beautiful and there were so many types of roses it was awesome
garden vistas
This is the pic of us at the top- burned quite a few calories getting all the way up- it was pretty hot!
Afterwards we definitely needed sustenance-
ordered plenty of food 🙂
Also ate tons of hummus in Granada
Later that night we went back to the Alhambra to see the Nasrid Palaces
It was a dark journey to the top- literally straight up a mountain
It was so beautiful- I want a house that looks like this 🙂
Although I didn’t see any cozy dens for cuddling up with a book so maybe I don’t want this palace!
Loved this woodwork on the door
Posing next to the amazing cured pork that is all over Granada
Crappy story: TSA took away all my cured pork products I brought back for the hubs :'( moral of the story you can’t bring back in food from other countries (definitely not any meat products) unless you can hide it better…not condoning smuggling but maybe
A bull fighting ring- wouldn’t want to go watch that though-
Went on a final bus tour – Goodbye Granada!
The last night we went to a lovely restaurant called Carmen Mirador de Aixa– lots of good food
and that was the end of my Spain trip! Had an awesome time and already planning a trip to Europe for next year! thinking Italy/France or Scotland or Norway or everywhere 🙂
