I love Granada the best of all four of the cities we stayed in. I loved the hills, the mountains in the distance, the cute little streets, the people, the views, the young people (there is a college there)....
We stayed in a place called Hotel Molinos. It is in the Guinness Book of Records for being the narrowest hotel in the world! :) It was cute, but (you guessed it...) a bit SMALL! :)

| This was Judy's favorite breakfast! Churros are long strips of fried bread and then a cup of thick chocolate that you dip the bread into and eat. Churros are very popular here in Spain. |
 |
| We arrived in Granada on Palm Sunday. These people were just coming out of church with their big palm branches! |
 |
| I'm here in touring the Al Hambra. This is is a beautiful place. It was built by the Arabs and then in 1492 the Catholics took it over. Today it is open to the public and is gorgeous! |
 |
| The grounds were very well groomed and the buildings were old and huge! |
 |
| This was one of the many beautiful gardens at the Al Hambra. |
 |
| Three friends from school came to join us as we toured the palace in Granada. This is Judy, Linda and I enjoying the forsythia in full bloom. |
 |
| Just saying hello from an ancient building. |
 |
| Each night during Holy Week the city of Granada has a parade. The parade was very interesting to watch. |
 |
| More of the parade... |
 |
| The parade had these ladies dressed all in black and carrying large candles. The children would come out into the street and hold a ball of paper/foil under the candle and collect the wax until their balls were bigger and bigger. ( some strange rituals??) |
