Marina in Granada (+ a day trip to Almuñecar)
A few weeks back, Marina (who was my roommate when I studied in Pamplona in 2008) and I were chatting, and she mentioned that she wanted to visit me in Granada before I left. I had exactly one free weekend left in May, so she bought some train tickets, and visited me. She had actually never been to Granada before so it was fun getting to showing her around. She took the overnight train from Barcelona at arrived in Granada at around 8am on Friday. After some breakfast (the both of us) and a shower (her), we started our day. Tickets for the Alhambra had been sold out online long before, but they reserve tickets that you can buy on the day itself. So first we walked up to the Alhambra and bought tickets for the afternoon (morning sessions were sold out already). Then we spent the rest of the morning walking around the Albayzín and checking out the view of the Alhambra from the Mirador de San Nicolas . View from the Mirador de San Nicolas
