katydid...fall under the spell of the Alhambra.






I am now in search of Washington Irving's Tales from the Alhambra. It's a stunning place, both the palace and generalife gardens are just majestic. You can't help imaging a different time and royal intrigues, romances, and events that have taken place there, despite the throngs of tourists.


Everyone should see it before they die. For some history: See this article.

Sadly, when we went the lion fountain was under constuction, but the article gives you photos. My photos totally don't do the place justice. The Alhambra is a place you really need to experience for yourself!
