Granada and The Alhambra

HERE IS A LINK TO MORE ALHAMBRA PHOTOS



The Alhambra is yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site that one must visit in the Andalusian region of Spain. And, again, it is magnificent!

Like the other historic sites in southern Spain, it is a mixture of Islamic and Christian culture. The presence of the Moors here for 500 years had enormous implications and seeing these sites helps me to better understand Spanish and European history. The links we share with other cultures are so much deeper than I imagined.

And here is where the $ came from (true!)

Pay attention, kids!

As seen in Game of Thrones!
