Granada is just another step till Meknes, Morocco.
Granada is a compilation of narrow streets composed of shops, people, pomegranates, and graffiti. A city where sidewalks turn into streets and where one can play a never ending game of spot the pomegranate. Pomegranate designs can been seen everywhere depending on how hard one wishes to look. Within Granada exists a massive cathedral that houses the final resting place of Ferdinand and Isabella. Isabella’s head lays heavier on her pillow then that of her husband, Ferdinand. It is believed that this is done to show Isabella was the one who truly was the brain behind their operation. Outside gypsies wander trying to give rosemary and stories of ones future for as many euros as they can get.
In Granada, most walls carry the weight of extra paint. These walls may show artistic expression while others share personal belief in a way to a better society. The writing of simple text represents grander ideas is most likely the work of what some could call the “cave people.” These people live along the mountainside just outside of town. They choose to live a lifestyle outside of the system in caves with chimneys coming out from up top the earth like a grungy version of the shire. They do not wish for tourists like the city they wish to view down below.
Breakdown
Tapas: A signature consisting of a small plate of food with the purchase of a cold or room temperature beverage.
2-5 Euros
Menu: Not just the simple list of prospective entrée items but a three-course meal. This is said to be the common late big lunch thing to do.
9-14 Euros
Cesta: This is said to exist but I do not believe. Supposedly, people take a late afternoon nap or break daily. Places really just open and close whenever they want and people nap and sleep with the same mentality.
