Granada For A Day - Probably Enough

We're in Granada today. We left Seville very early this morning and after a three hour train ride, through much rain, we arrived. We had rain here in Granada too at times. We took the city tour but we couldn't visit the only major attraction here (the Moorish palace known as the Alhambra) because it is inundated with tour groups. It seems you have to be a part of a group any more to get into such a popular attraction. It's a good thing we visited and enjoyed the Alcazar in Seville. In fact, Seville is a much nicer town in Southern Spain to visit. So tomorrow we fly to the North where we have tickets for a Zarzuela performance.

The photo of Granada was taken from a vantage point on one of the hills surrounding the city. The other two photos are views of the cathedral in Granada.

On The Move In Southern Spain

This morning we are taking a train from Seville to Granada. The trip takes three hours so we hope it will be a scenic ride through Southern Spain.
