Alhambra




Standing on the wall of the tallest tower... SCARY! But amazing!
Looking out over Granada.







Palacio de los Leones


Palacio de los Leones. The most famous part of the Alhambra, but sadly it was under construction so it wasn't nearly as pretty as usual.





Looking out over the Albaycin.




The magnificent Alhambra

Look at all the carvings and engravings! Incredible!


There are stray cats all over the place here, especially in el Albaycin, and this one would climb up on our laps as soon as we would sit down!
The Alhambra in the background
The Generalife gardens. The name Generalife is derived from Arabic and means "the garden of the architect" meaning the garden of the creator. So basically we were in Eden! =)
