The
Alhambra
This
morning it at least isn't raining! We check out and head up the
hill, arriving to collect our tickets at 9am.
OUR
MEMORIES OF THE ALHAMBRA
this
isn't a photo-expert's tour the weather and the hordes of
visitors don't allow anything other than a memory of a wonderful
place...we bought a book to provide us with quality images
By
the time we get back to the base of the outcrop it is raining again,
and we decide to eat and then head for home. We have falafels at
a little takeaway on Santa Ecolástica, then pick up the car
and head out of the city, aiming to take a more scenic route home,
via Alhama de Granada. Of course we get lost, go round in circles
a few times, get on the A-92 dual carriageway heading towards Seville,
before finally turning south towards Chimeneas and then joining
the A-388, weirdly,because it isn't what the map says, at Ventas
de Huelma.
The
rain gets heavier and the clouds get lower as we cross the Sierra
Alhama on the A-335. There are no views to be seen. We have a few
scary moments when the road becomes slick with rainwater and we
aquaplane a little, but we survive, and when we reach the coast
the sky is turning blue...
