Granada

Another victim of a year of misfortunes? Something just not written in the stars? After the inevitable blaming one's own unpreparedness, an equally inevitable realisation: Alhambra being sold out means a trip to Andalusia is due to happen again.

Resorting to wandering without a specific destination through the romantic streets, squares and churches of Albayzin is not too bad a plan B.
Culminating on top of the tower of the church of San Miguel Bajo and its perfect view of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada.

Elegant, lively, hilly and sunny, every neighbourhood a different soul, Granada rocks. And yes, there are free tapas too.
