I think one of the major reasons people visit Granada is to see Alhambra and it is a very worthwhile sight to see.
I know there is a difference but Alhambra gave me a another earworm – Lady Gaga's Alejandro.
Alhambra is a vast palace and fortress. It is considered the pinnacle of Moorish architecture and was built in the 13th and 14th century. Not only was it a fortress and palace – but there were gardens, gardens and more gardens. At Alhambra's prime, there were 2,000 people living on the grounds.

We headed back to Malaga, where we started our Andalusian journey. I had a little bit of time before I had to catch my plane to my next adventure. What did I find to do? Anybody who knows me, knows that I have a huge fondness for art glass. How lucky that I was able to find a glass museum?
