my travels: Granada 12th October

Today we had a slightly later start as we were all still pretty bushed from our big day, but eventually we headed back into Granada town and walked around the small streets under the Alhambra on the opposite side of town to the Arab quarter. It was just a gentle meander, and the town was bustling with life as it was a public holiday, people out eating and drinking at dozens of cafes around the city. (Apparently Spain has the highest number of cafes/restaurants per head of population in the world, I can quite believe that too, as every second establishment seems to be of that genre).

The red velvet? blankets out the windows had some significance to the fiesta, but not sure what.

After our walk we too decided to join the throngs and had a tapas lunch at the same establishment we had dinner at the night before. It was much busier today, we had a little to eat, a drink and then headed off. We were going to go to the science museum, but thought it would be a bit much, so instead headed back to try to find a park near the bus stop to sit and read for a while. we couldn't find any grass, but instead found a medieval market with all sorts of food stalls and action, so had a browse around there before heading back to La zubia
