Last few pictures from the 'puente'

After exploring Sacromonte on Saturday morning, we headed back to the city center and had a hot chocolate break in a charming jazz café, Bohemia.



I had to head home a little early unfortunately due to a stomach ache. But come evening  I was feeling much better and Lyle and I cooked some nilagang baka. We found pechay at the mercado and we were able to make the dish taste great. :)




We stayed up in the night playing cards, making kwento, and enjoying each other's company.


On Sunday we had a Google Hangouts date with several people from our university organization back home, UP Círculo Hispánico. It was a crazy afternoon and felt really good catching up with everyone.


We headed out at around 5pm to catch the sunset at the Mirador de San Nicolas. It was crowded with people as usual (especially more so this weekend because of the puente), but still did not disappoint.

We managed to get a good spot on the ledge and watched the sun go down and the Alhambra's lights light up.

Back in the city center we stopped by Corral de Carbón, which is interestingly enough, the oldest monument left by the Arabs. It used to be a coal yard and a warehouse, and in the 16th century, the Christians converted it into a theatre. It now houses a tourist information office and a bookstore.



We ended the weekend with some big servings of Mexican food. Such a great weekend with good company. :)
