Day 7: Gorgeous Granada

We left the Costa del Sol and headed to the Sierra Nevada mountains & Granada.
We went straight to the Alhambra, the last Moorish fortress.  We toured the beautiful gardens, the guard towers, but due to some odd changes by the Alhambra dudes, we couldn't go in and see the Lions. (FYI...not real lions, just a famous fountain surrounded by lions.) While we were bummed, it gives us a reason to go back.
After lunch, the kids participated in a Scavenger Hunt activity and enjoyed it!
We grabbed some helado, shopped, had dinner & then went off to a flamenco show in the caves.  Always a fantastic evening! Fun to see Sue, Charlie, and Caroline get up & dance!!
Tomorrow we head back to Madrid via Cordoba. Can't believe it's Day 7...we're over the half way point...wow...and we still have some great stuff to go!!
