Granada

After two short flights (that took up most of the day!), I arrived at Granada to 43 degree heat...YAY!!!! I met up with Andrea in Madrid airport (which is a copy of some other European airport...reminiscent of the new Southern Cross station in Melbourne with undulating roof and cavernous space but in yellows!)...we got a taxi to our hotel and the main road in front is all ripped up. Taxi driver said it has been that way for 3 years because when they were redoing it they found some architectural treasure underneath so haven´t been able to finish!
Hotel is pretty normal...smallish room...two single beds...but the view is ok...we went out and walked for hours, found some beer and tapas...Granada is unusual coz it has been developed sort of by chance...lots of mixed architectural styles yet it´s been inhabited for thousands of years...I´ve been looking up a lot!
