GRANADA

We ended up in Granada totally unplanned, and at the spur of the moment….. Sully wanted to see the castle …. And we read that it is one of the last places in Spain to offer free tapas, with any drink purchased…. Needless to say, after third/fourth drink we were asking them to stop serving us food …. A man can only eat so much.
Once again, life consisted of eating, drinking, site-seeing, and sleeping … in no particular order.
We never got around to organising tickets for the fort/castle … they were sold out on-line, and we did not feel like getting up at 7am to join the tourist queues for the box office open at 8am, and due to limited number of visitors … selling out by 9am ….. so looking from afar is as close as we got.

One thing I have observed during the Spain travels, is that (hundreds of years ago) if you give the Spaniards anything that resembles a hill, they will build a castle on it… this is definitely a sign of the conflicts of the past, where each city/region had its own sovereignty.
