Alhambra

One of the undoubted highlights of the trip was having the chance to visit the Alhambra in Granada.  We had an afternoon sessions (pre-purchasing your tickets was a huge help!).  We had heard from a good friend that this was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen that was made with human hands.  Indeed, what an intricate and amazing complex, with so many different rooms, patterns and locations. 

With all of the reflecting pools, the intricate stonework and the amazing hours of labor that put together the incredible labyrinth of structures, it was a special memory we will long remember.


 We also tried a couple of family pictures.  Which one works best?

 And the views looking outside the Alhambra included views of Granada, snowcapped mountains and neighboring hillsides.
