Sunday, November 3, 2019 Granada
We left today at 8:30 and drove to Granada. It took almost 3 hours, with one
“technical stop” at a large service area on highway. I got a café con leche for 2.60E, but saw a large supply of many Starbucks flavors to go in the refrigerated section.

Granada is in the Sierra Nevada highlands and the drive was inspiring. Elena says that this region is known for it’s olive trees and she was accurate. On the slopes of the mountains we saw many olive trees. We have left the cork forests behind. Lots of windmills also graced the landscape.

Granada is situated beautifully abutting the mountains – it even has a ski hill. The city is distributed across 7 hills. Atop one of the is the Alhambra, which is our destination. On the way, we saw the sites of the modern city, including my favorite, more graffiti.
