Alhambra and Albaycin

The only real reason to come to Granada was to see Alhambra, which is a huge moorish castle, from when they ruled spain. So, this morning, I went to see it. It is very impressive. There is a lot of ground to cover within the walls of the castle. The time it must have taken citizens to build this and make all the intricate carvings is something to think about alone. Each room is covered (almost of floor to ceiling) with very detailed intricate carvings. Symbols, as well as phrases from the Koran, line every passage way. There is a certain phrase about God being imminent written over 900 times within the palace. It was a very nice walk in the morning because it wasn´t very hot. It is much hotter here than in Barcelona or -Madrid. I went to lunch today and drank a liter of water. Lunch, that is something to mention- I went to a fish restaurant where they serve a large plate of various types of fried fish- crazy, so I got it. When I was full, it didn´t even look like I had touched it, I felt kinda bad, but I couldn´t eat anymore. I am off to Malaga tomorrow, and I am sure it will be hot, but at least the ocean will be there.
