Around the World: Alcaicería of Granada

[reviews_and_ramblings]

My hotel at the time was very near to the "commercial" district of Granada, and with commercial I don't mean the new sparkling shops, but the old Arab Bazar. I took this picture very early in the morning, we had to stay in line to gain a very coveted entry ticket to the Alhambra, and the line point was near this place. It was so early that all the shops were still closed.

Again, I didn't modify the colors, they were really like that. Stunning to see, I still have a memory of all my travel in Andalusia of warm colors and deep blue.

Bib-Rambla: The toponym existed at the time of the Arabs. Nowadays, Bib-Rambla is a high point for gastronomy, especially in its terraces of restaurants, open on beautiful days. The Arab bazaar (Alcaicería) is made up of several narrow streets, which start from this place and continue as far as the cathedral. (From Wikipedia)

I loved flipping through your album, very relaxing. I didn't make it to this part of the country. Really want to go now.

It was a wonderful travel, Andalusia is so full of Arabian influences from the past and you can see it near your home (or at least near for me ;-)). Elisa

Yes, it's an amazing color, and all the Andalusia county was like that. Elisa
