First looks.
Once my mom and I arrived in Granada it felt like our trip had truly begun. We sorted out our tickets to the Alhambra for the next day and set about exploring the town. On our hostel’s recommendation we hiked up to Albayzin. This neighborhood is famous for being especially picturesque due to its Moorish roots. From Albayzin we got our first glimpse at the Alhambra, a truly magical place.

A few notes on Granada:
*We ate at a wonderful vegan restaurant called Paprika. The baked tofu with apricot and peanut sauce was so good that I had it again when I returned to Granada this spring.
*Granada definitely plays up its Moorish history. We were encouraged to visit the Arab market where all the mainly Caucasian vendors were dressed up in Moorish costumes. Weird. Especially since we were coming from Morocco where you can see the real deal.

I love the look of those balconies! It looks like such a beautiful place. And the sound of that tofu with apricot and peanut sauce is making me hungry. People always tell me tofu is so bland, but if you pair it with the right flavours it’s amazing!
