Granada & Sevilla

The 2nd of October we went for our first trip with Cris and Mercè to Granada!!! Some months ago, we found one of those Ryanair offers which you simply can't refuse :) and we bought them with any idea if we would finally go there or how the trip would look like.
But finally we all managed to solve all the obtacles; the 4 of us going to "the South" :D

We arrived to Granada's ariport in the evening and our first movement were to get to the hostel. After leaving the bags there and check that beds were not so bad, we went for a first exploration looking for a good tapas place to eat. We ate in two diferent places several tapas and although we were very hungry after the trip, we could not finish all the tapas we got.

After tapas, Vikachuu and Beta didn't feel yet in the mood to go to bed, so we continue our exploration in the night clubbing. Seems and easy task at the first moment, as many people gives you many many flayers around the center, but the complicated part was to understand people indications, as sometimes we got the feeling we were talking different languages.

Finally, we danced a little bit in a club were there was an erasmus party and we end up later in a nice English pub having delicious cocktails (easily, it became our favourite bar there).


The day after we woke up early and we went for breakfast (xurros con chocolate) and walk to vist Granada. It is a facinating city with a lot of history and its narrow streets and plazas are very cute, specially under october sun always arround the 26ºC :)

In the afternoon we had entrances for the Alhambra and we walk there for hours, visiting islamic palaces, gardens, fountains and in general, behaving like real "guiris" (including taking ALL the most stupid pictures possible we could perform).


After this exhausting day and a shower we still had energy for some more Granada fiesta.


On Saturday, we had our last walk&breakfast in Granada and we went to get the car we rented to go to Sevilla. They gave us a red Seat Leon and we were very happy with it, specially Cris :)

Some hours later (2h from Granada to Sevilla + 2h trying to find a place to park) we were walking in the lively streets without a hostel yet. But the task to look for it was not half hard it was to leave the car in a secure place. And again, more tapas for dinner and a coffee in a terrace next to Sevilla's cathedral, and still could not believe that on an October night we could feel the warm summer breeze, the night was magic.

We continue with our visits in Sevilla on a happy sunny Sunday till late in the afternoon. And at night we were so exhausted that we decided to spend the night in our hostel's terrace.

Last day we took the car to explore some village next to Sevilla till the time to take our fight back home.

We recommend you to do this trip on a condition if you have such a wonderful company like we did.
Guapas, what is the next destination? :)
