Spain Day 10 – Granada And La Alhambra
I’m a big fan of spiral staircases – and this fine example at my hotel was just begging to be photographed before I headed out for a day of exploring Granada:
During the morning I looked for some geocaches and gradually worked my way up the huge hill towards La Alhambra. There was some impressive graffiti along the way:
Here is a collection of images from my walk around Granada:
My afternoon was spent looking around the incredible Alhambra Palace, built between the 11th-13th Centuries by the Moorish rulers of Spain, and later added to by the Christian King Carlos V in the 1500’s.
There is incredible and very beautiful ornamentation everywhere you look. It’s hard not to see hundreds of images around every corner!
Here are my other images from La Alhambra:

Spain Day 1 – Travel & Granada
Today was the first day of my trip to Granada and the Alpujarras in Spain. The flight was quick and efficient, taking off from London City Airport which meant I saw the sights of the Capital from above. There were also some lovely clouds along the way:
Once I had checked into my hotel I took a walk around the streets of Granada looking for some geocaches. I also found some interesting graffiti:
The sun was shining and the architecture was always worth a look, especially these attractive railings in front of an old church:
I found another intriguing church thanks to looking for one cache – the Basílica de San Juan de Dios – decorated with gold from top to toe. Quite incredible!
My mono image for the day features some Shadows On The Corner. Here are a few more shots from the day:
