This is a view of part of the city of Granada from the famous Moorish Castle of Alhambra. We spent the morning wandering around Ahlambra and enjoying the scenery. I have never really seen much like this in my travels throughout Europe. It was a beautiful old castle type place and is the last remaining Moorish building in Spain.
Throughout Alhambra there is not depictions of people or animals in their art. It is all design and the word for Allah.
Throughout the castle there are quite a few little patio areas with water in the center. This was done to help with the heat of the area, to keep things cooler. There is also a lot of tile used in their building.
There are beautiful archways all around that create these perfect outlooks.
After Alhambra we headed down to the southern coastline stopping in Nerja which is known as the "Balcony of Europe". It is beautiful, the water is so blue and there are no big waves that come into the shore so it makes the beach play very pleasant. This is one place I would definitely come back to!:) As you can tell from my picture, it was hot there and we were there in October! It was probably at least 90' and it get VERY HOT during the summer.
We stayed the night in Malaga, right next to the airport because we had a flight the next day up to Bilbao. We did make it out to the beach in Malaga, not as picturesque as Nerja, but still felt great!
