Granada Feb 5 Tue ..

On around 8 am we left Cordoba heading to Granada, we travelled by bus, personally, i liked it more than the train, maybe because the seats are elevated and you'll get a better view of the natural landscape, i dunno it's just my opinion .. what added to my splended journey is the companionship (dzierzanawski) aka mateusz hope spelled those right :) .. we reached Granada at around 11 am i think,, checked in then walked around the city and ate/sketched at a small cafe ..


Me posing and taning .. usually i'll give a natural look or a serious one i don't tend to smile in my pics .. because i look fatter when i smile .. don't judge me ..


.. to tell the truth i didn't like Granada much (at the Beginning) but i changed my mind immediately when we went at the afternoon to see the AL-HAMBRA from a distance at an opposite location to it .. the scene was breath taking ... i didn't expect to see snow on the mountains .. we should've went skiing but al hambra made granada for me :) it's hot ..


Al-Hambra,, i loved that combination between the al hambra and the mountains behind, you'll rarely see a combination between the lanscape behind (snowy mountains) and an islamic structure .. (most of the time people relate islamic structures with a more hotter environment (desert)). We stayed till dark to see the sunset and the view of the al hambra at night ..

al hambra at night ,, i loved how the fortress was lit


The next day ,, we went to the interior of the al hambra.. it was a nice sunny day :) ...
