68. Granada

Thursday was our other big group trip, to Granada. Granada is still in Andalucia but away from the Costa del Sol, and ranks with Sevilla and Cordoba as the must see cities of Andalucia. Unlike the other two, however, Granada is really a one-hit wonder, as the home of the world famous and extremely popular Moorish palace of Alhambra. The popularity is important, because we drove a couple of hours to get here, got lost in the big, pretty non-descript city to arrive at the Alhambra gate around 10 am. We managed to snag almost the last tickets of the day, but the downside is we weren't allowed in until 6 pm.
