After a morning spent exploring the local area in the rain the weather Gods were good to us and the afternoon cleared to lovely sunshine. What better weather for our visit to the Alhambra! This magnificent palace and fortress complex of the Moorish rulers was built in the 1300's and is testament to the amazing craftsmen of that time. Now a world heritage site, the complex is steeped in Spanish history of the Muslim & Christian cultures ....... Luscious gardens, ancient buildings of various architectural styles with walls & ceilings decorated with glorious tiles and intricate stone & timber carvings!
It is difficult to show the magnificent Alhambra in a photo but I'll let these photos tell their own story..
The travellers still smiling at the end of our 6 hour visit to the Alhambra complex........
Our very memorable day finished with a visit to a flamingo concert..........
Off the Tarifa today, the most southerly point in Europe, and then on the road to Morocco tomorrow!
Stay tuned for the next post! Adios from the Travelling Wanderers.........
