Day 113 The Alhambra

Today is Alhambra. After much trying, researching and reserving we are off to see Alhambra. This week was entirely sold out and closed one day due to a visit from the Queen of Spain. To be honest I didn't know they had royalty but I am now well aware of that fact.

Not only did we see the big site at our assigned time of two o'clock but we also hit up the Cathedral in the morning. It was a big cathedral and honestly they are starting to look the same. The alter was exceptionally beautiful and I tried to get a picture but I find the bigger the item the harder it is to get a picture. So my best is below.

After a long hike/jog/freakout I finally retrieved my passport from the hippy hostel and made it back to catch the Alhambra bus. By the way. For our "student tickets" they didn't check my drivers license, student ID or passport. Just saying Mr. Oasis Ticket Seller.

After entering the Alhambra we ran into a few more hostelers and walked around a couple of the major sights before the Palaces themselves in which we have another more specific time that we need to be there at. It is a rather impressive sight. The tile was amazing and if you could take away the hoards of tour groups it could be very peaceful.


One of the peaceful buildings....at least I thought they looked peaceful

The gardens. Which we didn't spend too much time in but were very beautiful
