Desert landscape in Spain

Today we drove through a desert landscape in Spain. It is barren and mountainous and hardly any vegetables anywhere. Sometimes the landscape can be almost beautiful. Sometimes it feels rather ghostly. You sometimes wonder if you are on the moon.

From Granada we went back down to the coast and drove east towards Almería. In this area you drive miles and miles through an endless sea of plastic tent farms.

Alhambra in Granada - Palace of the Moors

Yesterday we visited the main attraction of Granada: the Alhambra Castle and Palace. The palace was built by the Moors in the 1250s to the end of the 14th century and consists of gardens and buildings from the last Islamic dynasty in Spain. It is interesting to walk around the grounds, which are quite large and located on a hill with great views of both Granada and the Sierra Nevada.
