Granada
The bus to Granada took about 5.5 hours....got set up in new hostel and met som interesting travellers staying there. Had Pialla at the hostel then hit the bars ended up drinking with some cool girls from Aust and the Uk and a couple MIT frat boys....love the randomness of it all........... to cut a long story short got back at 7am from an all night club playing a mixture of Spanish house and cheese ( in Spain everyone drinks like Chrissybad-o)
Next morning got up at 8am after maybe 20mins sleep to go to the Moorish Alhambra palace. Tickets were in short supply and was advised to get there at the crack to get in.
After running up various dead-end hillside street less map and camera (,left on bed in a drunken haze,) made it to the top of the hill though felt worse than I looked and didn’t look good at all. Walked round for a bit in the manner of Hunter S Thompson checking into a hotel then ran into these Japanese tourists...”hey..anyone here like electric eel shock?”
The Alhambara was worth the hassle and made my way back to the hostel mid morning for another 20min nap and a shower before getting the bus on to Cordoba......
Cordoba
Arrived in Cordoba mid afternoon and checked into possibly the most cramped hostel room i’ve ever seen where I was the sole male occupant in a room of 8 ( not bad odds) was feeling burnt out by this point so after walking round town in a daze for the evening had an eray night to catch up on some ZZZs.
Next morning went to the Alcazar an impressive Moorish Mosque that had since been turned into a Cathedral a truly inspiring place...headed off to Seville in the afternoon
Seville
By the time I got set up in Seville was quite late after visiting the winding Canals of Amsterdam I can easily say this town is the easiest place to get lost in i’ve ever been...once I was set up hostel wise and had my bearings headed out for a stroll....the town was really nice ended up in the local Irish Bar that evening, drinking with a guy from Swansea a Frenchman and three American girls.. turned into quite the night and made it to bed around 7 in the morning ....next day booked a seat ticket on an 11hour night train to Barcelona ( urghh) and then wandered oround town some more taking in the vibes and listening to the local musicians. Seville definitely had delivered on all fronts...The train was delayed by an hour but once on board was well impressed with the amount of leg room ...next stop Barcelona and Prima Vera sounds....
