Castillo de Santa Barbara & Granada

Here are some pictures from el Castillo de Santa Barbara. I took one with myself up there but it didn´t turn out...I´m a little upset, but the view was beautiful (even though it was a bit rainy).
 Oldest Catedral en Alicante. It was originally Muslim baths but was later turned into a Catholic Cathedral.

 And here are some photos from Granada. I didn´t upload them all but Granada was extremely beautiful. We ate tapas at a resturaunt ouside when we arrived and then saw la Alhambra from afar. Later that night some of us saw Flamenco dancing in the caves of Granada which was really cool (Michelle Obama had watched them dance at the exact same place). The next morning we were up at 6 AM to see la Alhambra. It was absolutely beautiful. The detail is amazing. This aren´t even half of the pictures I took there. I would recommend everyone see them! These are for you Kylie Klenke :)

This was a sidewalk in Granada. They have beautiful sidewalks as well as beautiful buildings.

Entrance to a home (I´m a little creepy but it was sooo pretty!)

This is a monestary in Granada

La Alhambra at night. We passed it on our way up to the caves.

Part of la Alhambra. The stones on the ground are ruins of one of the old palaces.

Inside the second palace.

This is written all over the castle and it means something like "Only God is above me" in Arabic

A famous photo. The reflection is very cool!

Fountain in a patio of the palace

The cieling of a room. Even the cielings were covered with details (all done by hand)!


Part of the King´s room. He was the only one allowed in this area of the palace.
