After wonderful El Chorro we headed to Granada. It's a beautiful city with lots of history and culture, especially that of Arabic influence.
Camille was very excited to show me the Alambra, a gorgeous Arabic palace situated in the hills above Granada. Unfortunately tickets were sold out for the day. We still walked around the parts that were free and got a taste of what lay beyond the patrolled gates.
We camped the first night in the upper part of Granada. The next 2 nights we camped in Monachil, a beautiful little town outside of the city. And it was conveniently next to some nice climbing! We spent a couple days climbing and enjoying the peace outside of the city. We even had a French couple join us whom we met in El Chorro.
Our "camping" spot had a nice view.
Today we made the long drive to Barcelona to pick up Greg from the airport and explore the city. Our hostel is right near Spain's very own "Arc de Triomf".
Greg!
