Granda & Seville

Dec 12 & 13

Hola,

On December 12 we went to Granada to see the Alhambra Palace. We were lucky to get tickets since you are supposed to book at least a day in advance. The Palace is an amazing example of Islamic architecture and we were astounded by the intricate carving on the walls. The palace was also filled with fountains and pools which were fed by an elaborate aquaduct that ran under and over the ground. The fortress was also impressive and the view to the Sierra Nevada mountains was incredible. They picked a good spot for this place.





After a few hours at Alhambra we went off to Seville. It is a lively city especially during the Christmas season, and there were lots of people on the streets, music and buskers. The girls enjoyed mini donuts and Mike found a Starbucks....big coffee. We spent the next day exploring Seville to find things to do in anticipation of coming back with Don, Jen & Luca. Oh...one fun thing in Seville today, we got stopped by a group of people as we were trying to walk down a street because they were filming a movie!!! Cameron Diaz and some guy (can't remember the name) in a movie called Knight & Day and they were waiting for a motor bike chase down the street. Interesting.
