Granada, Spain, 21-22 Feb 2007: Heart of Andalusia
View Of The Alhambra From The Albaicin
| Thirteen years ago, I read James Michener's Iberia. His heartfelt and personal reflections on Spain, a country he loves, has fired my fascination. Andalusia in the south of Spain, and above all the Alhambra, beckon alluringly. I finally get to see the palace now: the Alhambra glows a warm golden hue in the sunset. |
Crowds - romantics, tourists, pensioners, hippies - congregate every evening at the Mirador de San Nicolas Church, high up in the Albaicin hill district. Some enjoy the view of the Alhambra quietly, others sing raucously. All celebrate.Labels: architecture, Granada, palace, Spain, sunset
