After our night in Segovia,
the fiance and I packed our bags and headed to Granada.
To be honest, we were both the most excited about Granada.
To me, it was a little-big city.
The perfect size.
After a pleasant train ride and 5 hour long bus trip,
we arrived in Granada.
It was late in the evening,
so first thing on our list was to find a place to stay.
We found a charming little hotel owned by the sweetest little old lady in the perfect location.
One thing I quickly learned while in Spain was that it is very different from the US in terms of night life.
People start going out for dinner at 10 pm,
and don’t even think about going out to clubs or bars until well after midnight.
I also learned that tapas are amazing.
like really amazing.
The meats are fantastic.
And overall, people seem to be less stressed.
We spent four nights in Granada.
We ate.
Wandered the streets.
Visited the Alhambra.
Ate some more.
And sipped on lots and lots of coffee.
I never wanted to leave.
ever.

| umm, best lunch EVER! |
I could go on and on about how amazing the Alhambra is-
but, unless you see it for yourself, you’ll never really understand.
It is, honestly, mind-boggling.
We spent our last two nights in Madrid.
I will admit, I didn’t really take any photos.
Madrid is big and didn’t have the charm that makes me snap away on my camera.
Plus, we spent an entire day at the Del Prado museum-
which was pretty amazing.
Although, it’s the only “big” museum I’ve ever been to, so I had little to compare.
After ten beautiful days in the land of jamon and tapas,
we headed home.
I was sad to say goodbye,
but I knew that my time in Europe had only just started.
GRANADA is amazing and Alhambra is a beautiful 'city' within a city :).

Hi, unfortunatly banana mocha from McDonalds is probably available only in Poland 🙂 and it's not as good as it sounds. Best wishes from PL 🙂
I remember that about Spain, too! When we first got to Madrid, we didn't go out for dinner until after 10pm, not by choice but because we just got in so late. We were both worried there wouldn't be any restaurants open but, man, were we wrong. We had a hard time even finding an open table!
Love these photos of Spain! If only it was as sunny here in Amsterdam…
Just stumbled across your cute blog and I'm your newest follower! xxx
It looks gorgeous there
<3 😀
Ah this makes me realize how much more I need to explore Spain than just barely stepping in with Barcelona
ahhh! I can't believe you're in Spain! You are such a lucky girl. It looks like a gorgeous place 🙂
Gorgeous photos!
And yea, the nightlife was a surprise to me, too, at a mere 19 years old when I was there! We were out so late, and started coming home when the bakeries were opening up in the morning and the sun was coming up. It was quite the experience!
