Granada walkabout

Basically the city was very easy to navigate. I strolled around the city on the following day. Firstly, I had my breakfast in a nearby cafĂ© at around 7.30 am. I was still with the Malaysian’s breakfast time while the locals were no where to be seen, except some early risers. The city has three main attractions: the Chapel and Cathedral, Albayzin area and Alhambra. The Cathedral is situated right in the middle of the town. Chapel is next to it. So getting there was easy.

I think this is universal in every corner of the city around the world.

As the planed flew above the southern part of Spain, the view was amazing with stunning hills, olive orchards, wind turbines and solar power plant. I must say that Spain has one of the better implementation of renewable energy technologies. In one area, it has wind turbines at the hill and the solar power plant on the other side.

Just pay 3 euros and you can get to the town. The journey from the airport was about 30 minutes. I got off near Plaza del T
