Sevilla & Granada
13.03.2011
20 °C
Unfortunately our time was up in Portugal...but at least we were heading for sunny Spain.
We arrived in Sevilla and heading straight to the town centre. Along the way we found some true Spanish cuisine; paella (just like carlos's) yummmmo.
Visited Catedral De Sevilla
And sipped on numerous espressos and wine 
Next, the bull fighting arena; Plaza de la Maestranza where we were guided around the historic arena, gallery and museum.
And finally Plaza De Espana - where we cheked out the Andalusian Day celebrations (a local celebration of eight provinces; Cadiz, Malaga, Cordoba, Granada, Seville, Jaén, Almeria and Huelva).
Next stop; Granada.
We arrived in Granada wearing shorts and t-shirts to only be shocked by the chilly weather and even the sight of snow! After a quick clothe change we strolled around the town taking in the sites including another massive cathedral hidden in the town square.
Day two was much more interesting. We ventured up a mountain to see one of Spain’s most renowned palaces; Alhambra.
It was intricately designed and beautiful, especially with the snow-capped mountains in the background. The palace and grounds were huge and included a maze of gardens, mosque, church and fortress.
I got slightly snap happy
After a humongous lunch of salad, soup, wine and more paella we hit the road and headed to the snowy mountain tops to check out Sierra Nevada. The village was packed full of skiers and snow-boarders but unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to hit the slopes. With the bright blue skies and white slopes it was a stunning site.
Next - Murcia
