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.
Your photos are amazing! I'm not sure if I would survivie…My bedtime is 10…tops! Haha!
The only city in Spain that I have been to is Madrid…your photos make me want to go back and explore the rest of the country! So beautiful!

where there's not much to look at, culturally. 🙂
WOW your photos are gorgeous! Never realized how beautiful it is there! I totally understand why you didn't want to leave! Beauty!
Sigh. your photos are SO breathtaking!!!!
Absolutely beautiful! When were you there? I have only been to Barcelona, Spain – but I would love to venture around the rest of the country sometime! Thanks for sharing the awesome pictures! Maybe I will have to do the same for some of my past adventures… hmmm… 🙂
You really take beautiful photos! I can't wait to get to Spain one day!
I also found it so strange that the Spanish only sit down for dinner at around 10 – but thought it was kind of cool in a way 🙂
Again, your pictures are gorgeous – they make me want to hop on a plane right now!
