Granada is a beautiful city

I don´t have much to say about the people of Granada that I´ve met so far, or the hostel I´m staying in, but I can say that this is a beautiful city.
After a little siesta, a girl from England offered to show me around the Albaicin (the old moorish quarter of the city, filled with little white stucco houses and arabic tea shops) We ended up in plaza St Nicolas which has a fantastic view of the Alhambra against the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was close to dusk when we entered the square and even though the sun wasn't setting quite yet, the Alhambra looked painted in gold. And for the first time on my trip so far, I was breathtaken.




I took these pictures when I went back up to plaza St. Nicholas the next day with my camera. They don´t do it justice though, so check the link below for the cool view.
