Day 4 Granada

Started out the day with morning run with the girls..... we headed to the river, so fun to see the Mosque lit up with lights.  It was nice to get in a run before sitting on the 2.5 hour bus ride to Granada.  Beautiful countryside the entire route, hills and fields of olive tree crops.

Once in Granada we headed straight to Alhambra Palace, super cool.....it was the Sultans palace and they built waterways that brings the water from the melting snow in the Sierra Nevadas, the walls are ornately decorated like a Persian rug but the colors have since faded, and there are fountains everywhere with beautiful gardens.  I took photos but you must check out the website or the picture book I bought.  

After the long Palace tour we were dropped off in the middle of Granada.  It was way past lunch and so we stopped for chow.  This is my paella, the signature dish of this part of Spain (rice, spices, and whatever seafood may be around.

Tomorrow I have a free afternoon with Sophie!
