This year we went to Andalusie (in Spain). And not to the horrible Torremolinos and Marbela coast but to the other side.
First stop was the wonderfull city of grenada with its beautiful builidings.
and of course one of the true wonders of the world the ALHAMBRA
This is a close-up of a piece of the walls which are really incredible. If you ever get the chance go and see it because pictures don't do it justice. It is truely a wonder.
And as when we walked trough the city i saw this shop !!! (And yes i bought something..... i just had to)
Next we went to the ALPUJARRES which is the mountain area just before the sierra nevada.
We stayed in a very small village called BUBION
with very small streets.....
From that village whe went hiking in to the mountains
this is at 2200 metres (after about 4 hours walking uphill)
We were a bit unlucky because the whether was a bit unstable so we could not go any higher. Here we were walking through the clouds
After a week walking in the mountains it was time to give are feet some rest and so vamos a la playa.....
Driving to the coast we came trough a giant area which was struck by fire..... This was a very strage place (looked like the "real" mordor) although the picture doesnt really show it
The next stop was in the area of Cabo de Gata which is (normally) one of the driest places in europe. But as some of you might have seen the spanish coast was hit by some very bad wheather and so when whe arrived it was'nt raining but really pouring. So the next picture is a special one because this happens perhaps once every ten years...
But luckily next day the sun was back and whe went to the beaches which were really beautiful although sometimes very hard to get to
Well that was it. It was a fantastic holliday in this beatifull country with very nice and friendly people and we are certainly getting back to this side of Andalusie.
Asta luego (See you later)
Hope you enjoy the pictures
