Quick Synopsis

In the Alhambra!

I got to Granada, Spain as a chaperon for a small group of high school students who where on an EF Tour. I am not a teacher, I just simply organized it and they came!

We continued on to Granada after exploring Morocco the day prior via the Costa Del Sol. They say it rains once or twice a year there and it did while I was there. Just my luck! :-)

Anyway Granada turned out to be one of the highlights of the entire Spain trip!

Thoughts on Sevilla

Enjoying some Sangria :-)

Granada was an amazing place to visit. The tapas bars here were among the best and again the laid back atmosphere was great. Granada is also close to the Sierra Nevada so skiiing was popular in February and don't forget the history around Granada. The Alhambra is a must see visit.

The Alhambra is without a doubt one of Granada and Spain's most visited and impressive attractions.

I visited Granada back in '87, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had not heard of EF tours before and I didn't know just anyone could organize one.....not that you are "just anyone" of course! Great pages.

Nice job, my friend. I always wear a neck wallet to avoid getting pickpocketed. Based on the photos I've seen in your page and my high school Spanish class, I think I'd prefer the Generalife too.

I hadn't heard about the gypsy caves here before! I love Spain, and I've long wanted to see the old Moorish architecture in this area. A great page, including your travelogues!
