Granada

The roof terrace at Hostal Landazuri.



The breakfast room.




Hostal Landazuri


Taken from the roof terrace- Alhambra sunset.

From Malaga, we took a bus to Granada. It's about a 2 hour journey. Spanish buses are comfortable and not expensive. When you buy your ticket, you're allocated a seat, and that's where you sit- woe betide you if you plonk yourself down in the seat that rightfully belongs to a Spaniard! It won't matter that you don't speak Spanish, you'll know you've been 'told'.  I learned that the first time, several years ago.
The road to Granada is through groves of olive trees; many, many olive trees. Millions of 'em. No wonder olive oil is a major export!
Once we arrived in Granada, we got a taxi to where we were staying - the completely charming Hostal Landazuri. Every room is a bit different, there is artwork everywhere and the top floor is a lovely roof terrace where you can sip an evening glass of wine and watch the sun set on Alhambra. While you're there with that glass of wine, you may as well eat some olives. Someone has to.
