So we returned to Granada and AlDisnaea with it's Mickey Moor hats and Sinbad of the Red Sea, the Moorish Mountain and E.L.C.I.D attractions.
Well not exactly but given the timed tickets, long queues in the rain and strange immutable and monolithic organisation I'd not be surprised to see height restrictions by the Nasrid Palaces. It would also make the millions of rather damp Americans here feel at home. Like Malaga Granada feels like some English outpost, mixed in with Italians, Spaniards, French and the odd Korean, Japanese and Poles.
Granada itself last time I decided I don't like, and in torrential rain of the last few days even less so. It's simular to Malaga in it's tack shops and turistico attitudes. AlHambra (from Al Hamra, 'the red city') is definitely great though, even in the rain with no umbrella. I think given the year I might be missing something but watching tourists take pictures of each other is entertaining and the restrictions and rain meant an almost empty garden.
Today was queuing up in the rain at 9:30 to get tickets to see the Nasrid Palaces, which were amazing and put the magnificent Mezquita in Cordoba to shame. The beautiful coloured tiles, stucco patterns and verse, the fountains and marbled ordered gardens it was a. slippery joy to behold.
