We had just returned from Seoul and Japan, almost the very next day as a matter of fact, when the Missus told me, "let's go somewhere in February". The planning window and time was short so we decided to revisit what has become my second favorite destination.
Starting in a very familiar spot.
With only a single day we stuck to some familiar places and are glad we did.
The next morning we headed out before the sun rose.......which isn't too impressive, since the it rises at about 820 am this time of the year. We watched the sun slowly make its way up from the train window.
With jamon in hand of course.
And after switching mid way to a bus ended up at our current destination. Once the greatest city in Spain, things are different here. There's a magnificent Moorish Palace on a hill.
Things are quite different from anywhere else we've been to in this country.
People here are especially warm, friendly, and as you see the views spectacular.
Tons of history.....a Moorish Quarter and a Gypsy Quarter.
The city is proud of its history and still keep with the tradition of free tapas with every drink. The Missus was especially fond of two particular wine bars here.
Of course man cannot live by tapas alone.....which is totally untrue, we did a have few regular sit down meals.
It's time to head out to our next stop in a few hours. We'll miss this place.
There's rain in forecast.......we're hoping to keep dry.
Thanks for reading!
looks so awesome kirk!

i finally have time again to catch up on my favorite blogs and you are off on another trip! i think i can actually guess where you two are this time without any online help though. is it granada? if not then some of the non-food pics look very similar to my good friend's pics from this past summer. her dad has a house there (and also here in san diego) and she went to visit and also take some flamenco dance lessons. safe travels and can't wait to see more pics and read more about the food! =)

I was wondering if you would be going to that part of Spain. Great.
