Granada

It was freezing in Granada and it was strange since it was March.

Granada is just a small city. Everything is convenient. Walking tour is perfect. Nevertheless, the old city Albacin is too complicate. All of us get lost in this complicated planning city, we have maps though.

There are some parts of Alhambra is free.
My walking trip:
start from Alcaiceria---Plaza Nueva-----Real Chancilleria--- Casa de los Pisa--Lglesia de San Jose---El Banuelo---Convento Sata Catalina---La Alhambra----walk back to Albacin---
Albacin--Basillica San Juan de Dios--Monasterio de San Jeronimo---Iglesia de los Santos Justo y Pastor--centro--Plaza de Real--Carrera del Genil---river side-----Santo Domingo
