Adios Espana!

 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.

Palace of Charles V
He built this Renaissance-style palace in the middle of Alhambra.  It was never finished.

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?

I'm like a little kid sometimes.  Here is a piece that I heard myself going Ohhhhh Myyyy!
