Día 5 / Day 5 14/10 - Granada

Hoy ha sido un día de calor. Desayunamos a las ocho y media y tomamos el autobus a las diez para ir a La Alhambra. La Alhambra es un palacio de los moros. Primero fuimos a los jardines que se llaman Generalife. hay muchas flores bonitas y la vista de Granada era increíble. despues fuimos a la fortaleza la Alcazaba. Después, fuimos al palacio y había muchas salas y patios que tambien eran bonitos y decorados con muchos detalles. Las decoraciones son flores y simbolos arabes. Los leones estaban siendo renovados lo que era una lástima porque es un monumento famoso. El almuerzo fue a la una y media. Despues fuimos a los baños árabes el Bañuelo en el barrio del Albaicín pero estaban cerrados. Caminamos por las calles de Alcaiceria. Son calles muy antiguas, bonitas y estrechas. En las calles hay muchas tiendas de recuerdos arabes. Primero caminamos alrededor de la catedral y despues los profesores fueron muy amables y nos dejaron ir 2 horas de compras, de seis a ocho. La mayoría de nosotros fuimos a la Alcaicería. Más tarde fuimos a cenar al hostal, donde coincidimos con el mismo grupo de estudiantes que también había estado en el albergue de Sevilla.

It was a warm day. We had breakfast at 8:30 and took the bus to Alhambra at about 10 in the morning. Alhambra is a palace of the Moors. First we went to the gardens called ´Generalife´which were really pretty, especially the flowers and the view of Granada. We went to the fortress which also had an awesome view. We went to another part of the palace which had all different kinds of rooms. They had beautiful decorations. There were Arabic signs, flowers and arches on the walls and the ceiling. They were renovating one of the rooms (patio) which was a shame because the lions were gone that represent something special. We had lunch at 1.30 in the afternoon. There were not many places to have lunch so we had to buy sandwiches from a bar. We were going to go to ´Baños Arabes´but it was closed. We walked around through the Alcaiceria which are some narrow streets with souvenir shops. There were Arabic souvenirs. First we walked around the cathedral and then we were allowed to have some free time. We had 2 hours of free time, from six to eight. Most of us went shopping in the Alcaiceria. After that we went back to the hostel and had our dinner. It was a coincidence because we met the same kids that were also in the hostel in Sevilla.
