Going to Granada...

Although I've lived in Spain for a couple of years now, I'd never had an opportunity to visit some of the Andalucian cities that are the main tourist attractions of this region. The busiest season of our year lies ahead (during the intensive coaching seminar and the LDC, we leave home at 8 am, have classes, small groups and other activities for most of the day, and sometimes only get home at 9 pm or later) and so I decided it would be a good idea to take a short break before that busy time began. A friend who is also involved in the seminar and the leadership course arrived from England this week, and we planned in three days to visit some of the "highlights" of this part of Spain.

Yesterday we went to visit the famous Alhambra in the city of Granada. We left early and the weather was still rather misty as we drove into the mountains. In fact, even when we arrived, the sky was grey and overcast, so it was amazing that it later turned out to be a very hot and sunny day. Looking at these photos, you can easily tell which ones were taken in the morning and which in the afternoon. The other main place we want to visit is Córdoba, and so that will be our destination for tomorrow.
