GRANADA

Like all of us have written about foreing cities, I would like to talk about Spanish one, so I have choosen Granada.
It seems that in this city had lived moslem people, now some of them continue to live there with spanish people.
Moslem reign finished when the city was conquered by "The Catholic Kings", so there is an extrodinary sculpture of isabel "The Catholic" in the centre of the city.

Besides, near the cathedral, "The Catholic kings" rests in ther mausoleum with their children.


There is no doubt that this city has a lot of traditions of moslem, there are plently of shops which sells typical items os moslem culture and you can also smoke their "cachimba".
Another heredity of them is the aweinspiring palace which is called " La Alhambra".

In the other hand, hordes of tourists visit this city in order to know more about moslem culture and to enjoy with the fabulous dishes. It seems that tourists eat "tapas" instead of eating in a restaurant, and ir the weather is great you should eat an ice-cream, don't you?

 
If you like Spanish music, you must go to Sacromonte neighborhood, there are plently of caves in which you can have dinner while enjoying a flamenco show. It's an unforgettable experiencience, you should try it.

To sump up, in this city, you have all what you need, culture, traditions, food and shows, what you hope to visit this city?

  1. Thank you Sandra!
    Just a quick comment to say that "Like all of us have written about..." should actually be "Since all of us have written about...". "I have choosen" should be "I have chosen" (very common spelling mistake).
    I like your use of hedgings such as "It seems that.." and "There is no doubt that..."
    Have a good weekend!
