My first visit in Spain



Hello guys!
I have not been here for some time, but I have a really good reason. One week ago I came back to Poland from Spain. Yes, you did not mishear! Finally, I achieved what I had been trying to do for so long time, almost for five years.  So let me tell you a few words about my trip J

Two friends of mine and I decided to organize a sightseeing trip to the three most important cities in Andalusia: Granada, Malaga and Cordova. They are wonderful and extremely significant cities in the Spanish history, where had reigned the Muslims Califs for long centuries until the Catholic Kings Isabel and Ferdinand  conquered the last city, which left them to restored the Christianity, of course it was  Granada. That is why, I would like to start describing my adventure from saying a few things about Granada, in andaluz dialect Graná.

The first day, after our arrival, we had planned two free walking tours to discover profoundly the city and to be given some recommendation in respect of good restaurants, bars and places which are worth visiting. The first tour turned out to be extraordinarily interesting and the guide said many beautiful stories and anecdote about Granada. During our tour we saw many amazing monuments. I have to admit that I had no idea that Granada architecture is so influenced by Arabs. Almost everything that you can see around contains traces of the Arabic style, full of rich decorations.

I will add several photos to give you an opportunity to see everything that I saw. So now enjoy of beautiful views :D

 Granada Cathedral or the Cathedral of the Incarnation




The Mirador de San Nicolas
From there stretches before us a beautiful view of La Alhambra




The Royal Chapel de Granada, it is the burial place of Spanish monarchs, Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand
