Monday, June 3rd.  Today we had a full day in Granada.  We started with a walking tour of Granada, toured the historic Alhambra, and ended with a tapas tour.  Our tour of Granada began with a visit to an impressive baroque era church.  It's hard to explain how ornate it was, so we've included a picture of the alter.  We visited the crypt of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand.  It was a very interesting tribute to two of the most important leaders in the history of Spain.  Speaking of history, we spent the afternoon at the Alhambra, a historic citadel that was built during the time the Moors ruled Spain (711-1492).  We've included a picture showing the Muslim architecture of the Alhambra, and a picture looking at the outside of the citadel.  We ended the day with an evening tapas tour.  We bounced between 3 tapas bars sampling tapas.  The tapas were good, but we're definitely having a salad for lunch tomorrow.  It's warmer down here in Andalusia, compared to Madrid, but in 4 days we will be heading to cooler climate in Portugal and Galicia, where we will walk the Camino de Santiago.
