For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. My world is the never-ending story and I expect to continue reading as long as I breathe!

Giddy in Granada

So, our goal of doing a hike in Ronda didn't work out due to time constraints and lack of frequent bus routes.

It was decided that Granada would be our destination instead.

Granada may be my favourite city in the world. It is just so damn beautiful!


After a solid week of Spanish cuisine, in which an ensalada is basically pork products and bread... I was craving some vegetarian cuisine and we found the perfect place. I had two entire plates of delicious middle eastern food to myself and the three of us split a chai-style tea. Most amazing tea ever. I had to commemorate the momentous occasion with pictures!


We arrived in the early afternoon and had time to walk around the old cobblestone streets in the daylight.

The itinerary was similar to what I had done with S my first time there. We went to go see a flamenco show on the Sunday night. It was a wonderful way to start off my birthday! The show was fantastic. I've never seen or heard anything like flamenco. The music, the passion the dancing... all of it. I'm sure I'm repeating myself.

My birthday was definitely off to a great start!
















We woke up early and headed up to the Alhambra just in time to visit the Palace of the Nasrids, which I had missed last time. It was spectacular.
