It was a perfect day today: not too hot, clear blue sky, the Alhambra to visit. It would have been hard to take a bad photo so I took way too many. I am too tired after all our walking to upload them all so will give a very brief sample before falling into bed.
I was disappointed that the orange trees in Seville had finished blooming. But at the Alhambra today they were in sweet bloom as were the roses which were everywhere and full of blooms and scent. We had lots of time to enjoy the gardens before going into the buildings.
Charles V palace is just as ugly from the outside as ever but the inside is pleasing. They were showing an Escher exhibition with animation and a lot of original lithographs because he was fascinated by the tile patterns here. No photos allowed.
Heaps of photos were being taken in the Nasarid Palaces which are a magnificent as ever although with too many tourists. They do restrict the number of visitors and we were lucky to get a booking for 5:30pm on Sunday afternoon. If you have been thinking of coming to Granada, do it soon before it gets overrun with tourists.
Because the lion pool is being restored I took a photo of a nearby kitten instead.
