Alhambra

Nobody will argue that the highlight of most travel to Granada is Alhambra. This beautiful palace is one of the most visited place in Spain.




Granada Bar

Granada is the only city in Spain that offers free Tapas for each ordered drink in all bars! Bar hopping with this Japanese lady, named 銀色の猫, or Silver Cat was really fun. In one day, we visited 6 different bars, drinking beer, wine (vino de ferruno, or summer wine), and enjoying the yummy free Tapas and watching other people in the bar.
