A Day Trip to Granada, Spain

Granada is about 2 hours away, so we got up early. We saw a weather front pouring over the mountain tops like a waterfall. Very cool! We also had a chance to see more poppies and actually got a picture of them as we drove past on the motorway (freeway).

Granada was very confusing! We entered an Information Center into the GPS and couldn’t find it or a Park and Ride. We tried to find the Alhambra but GPS didn’t recognize that word alone. Finally we saw signs, Alhambra Palace in English, and followed those. Once we were at the Alhambra, we found out we had needed to buy tickets online several days in advance. We thought we’d be safe because it’s early in the season. No tickets were available for the next two days, so we thought we were out of luck, but then we noticed some parts are free!Read more
