Granada and the Alhambra
We took a train to visit Granada and the Alhambra, which is the most visited Historical sight in Spain with over 2.5 million visitors every year. View of the Alhambra, which was actually a city and and the last Mudejar stronghold to be captured. It fell to the Christians in 1492. Tobi's step brother Michael was also with us on this trip.
At the top of the Alhambra. Notice the snow on the Sierra Nevada Mountains. They told us that the ski resort there would be open until mid May!
We dropped Michael off at the train station the next morning and we had some time to kill before our train left to take us back to Sevilla. We had some breakfast and headed out to see the tomb of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Tobi with one of our new friends on our way to visit King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. He did not say much as he was deep into his book that morning.
Me with one of our new friends on our way to visit King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. I liked his bowtie.
Tobi with another of our new friends on our way to visit King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. She was also reading a book. Seems to be the thing to do on a Saturday morning.
We got to have an audience with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. They were not very receptive or talkative!
This is one of my best buddies by our apartment. There are so many dogs in Sevilla and some that we have never seen in the states including this little guy. We are told these are called Teckels. Love these dogs! This little guy works at a newspaper stand by our apartment. I see him everyday and we have become close friends!
