Not feeling too good so was nice to sleep in and get breakfast in bed, benefits of having a husband who cannot get up late.
Visited the cathedral ( only the exterior as we were outside visiting hours). The surrounding square is filled with spice shops.
Climbed ( needed loads of stops for me ) to an area to view the Alhambra on the whole. All touristy areas have some sort of group or individual playing music, on the whole they are generally good. The views from this square would be spectacular at sunset but we weren't hanging around for it.
Made our way to Barrio Sacramento which has the gypsy caves. Had I not known these were caves it would have been hard to differentiate them from houses on a mountain. The museum caves looked interesting but would be reopening in a few hours. We spent those hours very productively broadening our horizons at a Moroccan restaurant. Had a delicious lunch followed by smoking a shisha hookah, apple flavored. I really enjoyed it, initially made me light headed but dried up my nose and throat so felt better on the whole.
Was quite giggly by the time we returned to the museum caves so laughed a lot there. A good thing as it is a bit of a waste of money ( could be because we have stayed in a cave room ourselves in Turkey). No one else was around so took a lot of stupid pictures, one of Jeevan planking in the stable i.e. lying flat on the ground.
Had an hour to spare so utilized the happy hour and free tapas in Granada. With a few mojitos under us, we are ready to face the overnight train to Barcelona (cancelled our visit to Valencia ).
