We departed for Granada from Córdoba around 1030am and got there around 1330. At 1430 we all met up again to get back on the bus for a short drive to the Alhambra. It was beautiful (architecturally) and had lots of gardens and fountains. What was really cool about the place was just walking along the gardens and hedges, imagining how peaceful a place it would be to come and pray, read, or collect one's thoughts. Something that was really cool about the place for me personally was that poetry was really an important thing there...can see how easy it would be to be inspired with all that beauty around.
For dinner we had a buffet (Boo-fet in Spanish ;) dinner at the hotel and then I went to sleep from a food coma ;) The next day we got a tour of the city center including the Real Capilla de Granada (where Isabel and Ferdinand are buried). Granada has a lot of nice plazas and narrow cobbled streets, it was a pretty city to visit.
We got back on the bus around 1500 to have our 6 hour ride back to Alcalá.
HIGHLIGHT OF GRANADA: Imagining being able to study and write poetry in the gardens of the Alhambra.
