Playing Tourist

This picture was taken just outside the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. 

The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a fortress in 889 and later converted into a royal palace in 1333

Granada itself was really interesting. It's had a huge Muslim/Moroccan influence (current and historical). You can see this easily just by looking around at the architecture, or perhaps by walking down a street and seeing the the hookah bars sitting side by side with the Spanish tapas bars and restaurants.  

I'd be happy to return and spend another day or two. 

Fascinating,
