Alhambra - Revisited

Welcome back. If you haven't been here in the past 2-3 days...where have you been? I've updated 3 times now! Make sure to check the bottom for previous posts if they're not on this current page.

After Italy, we decided to hit up the Alhambra (for me, this would be the second time). I have already made a posting here about the magnificent monument, so this one will most likely not have a large amount of writing with it. The best part of this series is that the weather was much nicer on this day than the last time. With the sun shining, it made for a better set of photos. Enjoy!

 A fountain on the trail that leads up to the Alhambra.

One of the bathhouses inside the Alhambra walls.






 This is the room that normally holds a fountain with 8 or so lion fountains that spit water. Over time, they were deteriorating quite a bit, so they have since been restored and placed in a separate room. They are currently renovating this room as well, and thus, ugly walls.


 A great view of the Albaicin from one part of the Alhambra.


 In the Alhambra (and all of Granada) there are stray cats. This one went for a drink and was approached by a scary human!




 Sorry, the inconveniences what?



 A cool all-encompassing shot showing many areas of the outdoor parts of the Alhambra, including the Palacio de Carlos V, where many art shows are held.

 Here we are in the Generalife once again.

 This guy needs to learn how not to blink during a photo.

Here's some graffiti from the way down from the Alhambra. If there's one thing I've noticed a lot of in Granada, maybe more so than other cities, it's the amount of graffiti sprayed across the city. Generally, I would say a lot of it is pretty talented stuff. I just liked this one in particular because of the 30 Rock reference (this one's for you, Kyle).
