Moving to Granada

Today was spent travelling by bus to Granada, settling into a new hotel and finding our bearings. The countryside showed signs of recent flooding. The olive trees relentlessly march over hill and dale. It is not surprising that Spain has such a lot of olive oil.

We did visit the cathedral which is grey and overdecorated on the outside.

On the inside it is like being in a gigantic wedding cake. Not much spirituality apparant or any sign of the mosque or temple that must have been previously on the site.

Here is a church that has been obviously converted from a mosque. It is at the foot of the Alhambra hill. See the baroque entry pasted over the moorish keyhole arch.
