Beautiful, isn’t it? It’s inside the Alhambra, a palace located in Granada, Spain.
This is Granada. The second part of my trip to Spain, where my friend, D, and I stayed for two days.
We continued our trip through the South of Spain from Seville, soaking up the sun while the rest of Europe trembled in snow and rain through January.
Alhambra is a palace constructed in the 14th century by the Moorish rulers who dominated a parts of Europe and primarily North Africa at the time (same folks who brought Islam to Spain). It is a breath-taking oasis hidden in the middle of a big city (and I should mention that breath-taking also refers to the hill climb that it takes to get there)!
The detail on the handcrafted walls, ceilings and floor was exquisite.
The inside was just as interesting as the outside!
Outside, the architecture is typically Moorish – very similar to buildings I saw in Marrakesh (maybe I should post my photos from my Morocco trip from two years ago…what d’ya think?). They were full of brown clay buildings, writhing in mazes… encapsulated within lush, verdant gardens…
I loved having fun in these little mazes.
And here’s my favorite part! It’s the view of the whole city!!!
Even the detail on the furniture, ornaments and decorations were just as beautiful as the buildings.
Me being silly LOL
And the night sky… just beautiful.
And…. the rest of Granada…
Seedy night life 
Just kidding!
Beautiful pomegranate is a symbol of the city. They even made all the little metal barriers on the side of the road into shapes of pomegranate.
