Granada city

View from our hotel

 I finally had the chance to visit the south of Spain and it did not disappoint! The trip was actually a work trip for my partner but we stayed an extra day to enjoy some of the sites of the city. As a total giddy that grew up in a cold climate, my mind was absolutely blown by the orange trees on the streets. We happened to be there while they were fruiting and it was quite surreal to see!

The city itself is really manageable and easy to walk around. We were both surprised at how touristy it was but it makes sense given the presence of the iconic Alhambra. Once we were able to identify the really touristy spots with the local neighborhoods we really enjoyed the city. The views of the snow capped mountains were beautiful as well as Alhambra's presence looming over the city.  

Orange trees!
