Granada
Granada was one of the last Moorish strongholds in Spain, so there is plenty of Arabic food, tea, and crafts to enjoy. We (I) ate hummus and falafels until we looked like chickpeas. We drank gallons of soothing, fragrant tea. We went in and out of plenty cluttered bazaars. There weren’t many sites to see besides the Alhambra, so we had a leisurely time.
There’s been a trend of especially enjoying the southern part of every country we visit and Spain is no exception. The Arabic influence in southern Spain gives it a unique and comforting vibe. The Moorish tradition of relaxing in a cozy, ornate teahouse amongst smoky threads of incense is the Arabian equivalent to swinging your legs off the tailgate of a pickup truck with a cold beer in an open pasture. Either works for me.
