Granada is a beautiful city. Thhere is something special about it. Probably because of the Al Hambra? Anyways, my bed and breakfast in Lecrin Valley was just awesome. I had a room of my own with an attatched bathroom. Breakfast was filling.And when i said filling, i really mean filling. Well, in all, i paid EUR 60 for two nights. It was really worth my money and experience. I mean, how many of us will get to experience living in a typical Spanish house in a Valley. Anyways, Getting to Granada City from Lecrin Valley was a bit of a hassle. My host would dropme in Durcal when i will have to wait for the urban bus to pick me up to Granada City. The timings of the bus... well, it´ll come when it comes. haha!
And so I reached the AL Hambra slightly before noon. There was a group of Japanese university students in front of me, together with their teacher, who was spanish. She asked meto join her group and I obviously agreed to it. Had I not met the group, i wouldnt have been able to cover the grounds of the AL Hambra in detail. So we snapped lots of pictures. But unfortunately i can´t post them online, yet. When you think the Sagrada is beautiful, waith until you see the Al Hambra. No words can describe the beauty. The details in all the works of art.
In the evening, i met up with Ester who brought me to the Albacin.This was supposed to the the oldest neighbourhood in Granada and it certainly was. We walked uphill until we reached and open area. Ester pointed out to me the Granada mosque, which mak lang also mentioned. I took the opportunity to do my zohor and asar prayers there. The mosque itself is beautiful, overlooking the Al Hambra.
I´m now in Madrid. Took the ALSA train for the price of EUR16, the cheapest way to get to Madrid from Granada. Initially, i wanted to stay at Atocha train station so that i could save money.However, little did i realise that they actually close the train station for the night! damn! and my backpack´s in the locker at the train station! urgh! So i´m now at the MADhostel, 2metro stops away from Atocha Station. So much for trying to save money. Well, time for plan B. After the day trip tml, I´ll pick my backpack up, go to the airport and lock it there. I´ll probably spend a night or two there since it´s free and the airport never closes. Must save money. Anyways, I have yet to buy any soveniers. Haha!so ppl,don´t expect anything from me when i return.
