It was hard choosing which Spanish cities to see in our short 2-week trip, but friends said
Granada was not to be missed. We did an easy day trip from Sevilla to Granada via train that was 3 hours long. When we arrived the first thing we did was stake out a cafe serving breakfast and my favorite discovery is their cafe con leche condensada (coffee with condensed milk). They serve the coffee with 2 packs of sugar in addition to a small pack of condensed milk and trust me, you don't need the sugar! The condensed milk alone makes the coffee sweet enough.
Coffee aside, Granada's jewel is the Moorish architecture of the
Alhambra palace which sits among tall, lush trees and stunning views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Another highlight of the town is its Gothic cathedral in the middle of its bustling city streets.

I thought it was neat how they put nets between buildings to shield shoppers and pedestrians from the hot scorching sun during the summer. |
