Granada

News update from Granada: my soul can now avoid the tediousness of being restless after death because I have now been to and enjoyed the sights of la Alhambra. Trouble is that the famous lion fountain is under restauration and the freaking lions were no-shows. Bummer. The Alhambra also offers breathtaking views of Granada itself and it`s impressive smog.

I may sound a bit negative, but I did truly enjoy myself in Granada. As the last Moorish stronghold in Spain, the city offers a unique mix of cultures which is quite nice. The Albaicin with it´s little shops selling exactly the same things all down the alley reminded me much of some areas of India, the difference being hygene. You don´t have to dodge cow shit in the Albaicin.

Tomorrow, we take the train to Sevilla, where I hope tosee some bullfighting. We´re also thinking about making a day trip to Toledo from Madrid. I hear they make cool swords there.
