Bonito y Romantico Granada

14 Oct was me & Alberto's 3rd anniversary
( u know i dont remember such dates)
it was the first time we could celebrate it together
we were in the mountains with our frens
but we decided to sorta celebrate it in Granada.
we spent an evening following the historial, romantic trails of the ancient city


THE ALHAMBRA

ah the oh-so-famous (according to the Spanish only) Moorish castle
it is the last remaining Arabic castle in Spain
in Ancient times, when Granada was occupied by the Arabics
the king used to live in the magnificent Alhambra
before the Christians took over it.
Gorgeous garden surrounds the grand castle
perched on top of the city
it overlooks the white houses & caves in the Albayzin.




a lil piece of heaven.


THE ALHAMBRA PALACE hotel.
We then visited my favourite cafe in Granada.
in the grandest hotel,
but with grandeur view of the city.
u pay for the ambience i guess.
still 2.50euros for a glass of wine, still cheap wat!



TAPAS!
Ah the best part abt living in Granada
the free tapas that come with cheap drinks!
for the sake of Xindi, who said shes coming to Spain
photos of the free tapas

Some tapas bars have a range of tapas you can choose from
that comes free with a tubo of cerveza (beer) or tinto de verano or clara (shandy).
Below: Croquettes & fries



MARIKO'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
had a fiesta with our classmates
in d'Cuadros - tapas bar cum club.
pretty fancy tapas - pizzas, chicken sandwiches..
wasnt as fun as anticipated
but still, was good to gather
the french guy Jeremy got all of us laughing
Im glad he came.
and Alberto is always the Mr Nice Guy everyone likes ;)
