The Moorish Kingdom of Granada

SPAIN3SPAIN2SPAIN

In the morning after breakfast, we once again divided into work groups after a short meeting for worship. Work on the mural continued and it’s coming along nicely. We made more delicious bread, made more arts and crafts, and worked more on the garden. After some classic frisbee and lunch, we headed out to Granada again.

imageAfter an exciting group game, we had some free time to shop and snack before we went to La Alhambra, the medieval Moorish palace. Our tour guide, Oscar, took us through the many miles of beautiful gardens and incredible buildings. The stunning colored tiles and well-made fountains were still there after thousands of years. Being able to see the view of Granada from the top of La Alhambra was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After exploring La Alhambra for a few hours, and finding some clutch WiFi, we made our way back to the Old District of the city for dinner. To get to the traditional Moroccan restaurant where we would dine, we went down some alleys that were so tiny they weren’t even on maps, and most of the locals didn’t even know where they were. The restaurant was extremely unique and separated everyone by what main courses they wanted, but everyone ended the meal with sweet tea and baklava. On the walk to the bus, we got to see another beautiful view and ended our night on a great note.
