Day 7- Granada

Next stop was Granada, so we got up very early to catch the train and made the journey without too much hassle. After scavenge through the city to find our hostel, we arrived at the cutest little place you have ever seen. After lackluster chain hotels, this place had all the charm that a little 4-story complex could contain. When we had all settled we headed to the Alhambra, which was the palace, the Muslims had when they were in control of southern Spain. We made the long journey only to find out that the tickets to get in were sold out so we were only able to walk around the outside. I had been here on my previous trip to Spain, so I did not entirely mind but I felt bad for the others. We ended the day just right, though by having an amazing dinner where we were seated outside the restaurant along this quaint little street. Throughout dinner we were entertained by the cutest little boy who apparently could only say “Hola, Que tal?” But, in the cutest way possible. It was quite funny. We wandered a bit after dinner and got some gelato. I got Chocolate Orange and then banana. So good. We came across this street show where this group of drummers were playing and everyone was in the streets dancing. It was way fun. All together, we had an awesome day in Granada, even if we didn’t get into the Alhambra.
