Day Trip To Granada

Our ship docked in Malaga on Tuesday, one of Spain's largest ports. We took an early morning bus ride to Granada to visit one of Spain's two most popular attractions, the Alhambra. The ancient Moorish castle sits high up on hills and covers a huge area. The Mudejar architecture is lacy and delicate, and some traces of blue paint survive on the decorative stucco. The extensive gardens are covered with bright colored flowers and towering Cypress trees. After our two hour tour we had a delicious lunch that included an excellent seafood paella. - Dan
