Shopping, Shopping, Shopping...
My first full day in Granada consisted of walking, shopping, more walking, and more shopping. Headed out first via the covered shopping street to the 4 story department store "El Corte Inglés". Did some browsing through the floors. Afterwards walked back to the outdoor bazaar. There was handiworks from India, Brazil, Mexico, Morrocco, and Africa.
I also found the outdoor flowers, vegetable, fruit, and fish market. Had a lot of fun strolling the aisles with the local ladies shopping for food. I then visited a couple of churches. In my wanderings I ran some small side alleyways that had leather goods and textiles.
After a quick pineapple gelato. I was walked to the Alhambra and around the top of the city. After huffing and puffing my way up, I slowly walked down, periodically stepping into doorways to allow trucks to pass. I walked past some gorgeous churches, a couple of convents, and the Elvira door.
The city and its people are a blast to watch. They are so animated in their conversations, that sometimes I just had to sit down and people watch.
Tonight it is falafel for dinner.
