We absolutely loved the Andalusia region of Spain.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/andalucia-travel-map-56c2820e3df78c0b138f7d92.jpg)
We visited Seville, Ronda, Granada, and Cordoba. We would definitely re-do this trip.
Unfortunately, we were only able to get to the doors of the Alhambra in Granada. So close to getting in….😢. We did not have tickets. We had not planned that one very well.
We did, however, see and spent time at the Parador de Granada which is located on the grounds of the Alhambra. They have beautiful gardens, fountains and the atmosphere is so peaceful.
On the wall, we saw a photo of Michelle Obama who had stayed here. Interesting!
From our little apartment terrace, we did get to admire the Alhambra from a distance. SO beautiful when all illuminated at night!
While in Granada we did a half-day olive oil & wine tasting tour. Here is a description from our tour guide, “we’ll pick you up and drop you off at a meeting point in the center of Granada. After visiting a beautifully preserved 15th-century olive oil mill in a charming white village, enjoy tasting and learning all about the different characteristics, culinary uses, and many health benefits of various olive oils. In our specialized store, you will find the best selection of olive oils, cosmetics made from organic extra virgin olive oil and related products from Andalusia.”
Here is a couple of simple little tapas suggestions the tour provided –
disfrutar!
Beautiful Granada!
hasta la proxima vez!
Next destination, Cordoba!
