Bahaha, this was no casual stroll. There's not even a path, you just climb over them in every direction. Soo, we all struggled, fell, got muddy, and had a great time!
When we got to Granada, the first thing we did was go to the Arabs Baths. I've never really done anything like this, but basically I paid 30 euros to sit in a pool for an hour and a half then got a 15 minute massage that tickled really bad. Over all it was nice, but definately not my usual cup of tea.
We saw a flamenco show later that night...SO AWESOME! We sat in this little gypsy cave that was extremely narrow and the dancers were so close they literally hit people a few times. They were so intense, but so fun. I thought it was so funny because my Grandma had visited Spain and kept mentioning the flamenco and saying, "Wait until you see the men!"...hahaha she was right! Me and my roommate Molly (who does riverdance so she was all excited about the flamenco) were convinced we were awesome at flamenco and danced and sang the rest of the way through the city...the only lyrics we knew were GRANNAADAAA and OLE! But we made it work.
The next day we went to La Alhambra, which is basically a city built on top of this mountain that's all contained within this giant wall. It was really beautiful and the decorations were crazy! Our tour guide was half Swedish (so he spoke swedish), half French, but was born in Spain (so he spoke Spanish), and married a Mexican woman, and of course knew English with an awesome British sounding accent (literally exactly like the guy who narrates the Harry Potter books!!), but he was one of the most interesting people I've ever met!
The streets of Granada were my favorite, but many of them are made of thousands of little rocks that make all of these designs and also make it really difficult to walk on.
That's all for now!
