After a few sunny days in Malaga and Cordoba, it was time to head to the ultimate prize of my Andalucia trip - Granada. It was a memorable 2.5 hour bus ride onboard a super luxurious bus with Business Class seats, onboard movies, and even a snack pack. It was 18 euros well-spent!
1. Puerta Elvira is an entrance to the Albaicín district, the old Arab quarter.
2. Small white houses sprawled along the hillsides. The narrow roads and alleys were not busy with tourist traffic.
5. The terrain rises quite quickly as the district rests along Granada's hillsides.
12. With short houses dotted along the hillsides, the roads open up to more views every now and then.
15. The view from the Mirador S. Cristobal is quite wide.
32. The blue skies seem to never end. With summer around the corner, the sun stayed up long enough to afford even a lengthy siesta.
35. Minibuses ply these streets. Granada's key tourist attractions are within walking distance of each other, while the uphill runs aren't bad.
51. Although the Albaicín's streets have been quiet so far, I encountered a much bigger crowd at the Mirador S. Nicolas, which has the best views of the Alhambra.
