We went to the Alhambra. It had a very pretty garden. And we saw the fortress. There was a very nice gift shop. This is where the Moors lived, they were muslims. They got kicked out though by the Catholics in 1492.
After visiting the Alhambra, we went for a hike in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was very fun and I am so glad we went.
How lucky you are to have see the Alhambra. Did you like the tile mosaics? Muslims usually do not have living creatures in their mosaics. Can you find out why? I think that Muslim tile mosaics are absolutely marvellous. In school I remember having to learn about the Rubaiyyat of Omar Khyam. Perhaps you might learn about that while you are surrounded by Muslim culture. Love from Nana and Granddad XXX
Thank you for the photos and information about the Alhambra. So now even if I don’t ever get there, at least I’ve seen it through your eyes. It was just a bit too far to go when we were staying with Narna and Finn in Sotto Grande in Spain.
I thought your hike looked really exciting, especially walking along the ledge. I thought it looked like snake country – did you see any? xx
