Today was going to be a pretty big day in trying to fit most of the sites of Granada in, without pushing things too hard.
After a light breakfast at the Casa Palacio Pilar del Toro Hotel, it was a 1.2 kilometre (.8 mile) uphill walk to the entrance of the La Alhambra, where for the next 3½ hours, we had the services of a professional guide who took us all over the 14 hectare (35 acre) site.
After lunch I headed off to go check out the Catedral de Granada (Granada Cathedral) and the rest of the city before meeting up with some of the tour group to to walk up to the Plaza de San Nicolás, which gave us great views out over Granada and on to La Alhambra.
After a bite to eat and a couple of brews at a local tapas joint, it was off to Cuevas Los Tarantos for a traditional flamenco show. Truth be told, I was impressed with just how much passion and expression the performers showed and the efforts they put in to their craft during the entire show. Well worth the experience I reckon.
We stopped for a photo op at Plaza Cementerio de San Nicolás on the way back to the hotel for some ..... or on the way to the tapas bars - for those of us into healthy living.
