Last Wednesday the 6th June was our 14th Wedding Anniversary. Ed very kindly agreed to attend to the animals for a couple of days, so we took the opportunity to spend a couple of days in Granada! We found a nice hotel on the internet, which was ideally located in the Albayzin, Granada's old Muslim quarter, which we have always wanted to explore.
We caught the early train from Ronda and arrived in Granada around lunchtime. It was only when we arrived that we discovered it was the start of the Corpus Christi, which is always held on the first Thursday after Trinity Sunday.
We had a really fantastic time just wandering round the narrow cobbled streets, taking in the wonderful architecture and finishing off with a visit to the magnificent cathedral, which was built on the site of a former mosque and took 180 years to complete!
