coast road to Granada

The Spanish addresses they give you for the place of arrival are hopeless. It started already bad by leaving Pamoles. It took us to lots of suburbs and shiowed us where the rich people of Spain are living and finaly took us to the right road, direction Granada. We just started to enjoy the nice drive and scenery when we were taking of this magnificent piece of road and were send through small places that reminded us on the Gold coast. All appartments and beaches of grey coloured sand not like by us, gold coloured. The next time it wanted us to go again of the road, we stayed on. As always, we stopped for a coffee, where we are getting language problems, that most of the time turn out very hilarious. We approached Granada in Siesta time, but that seem to be not making any difference, for the traffic was packed. We could not fill in the right address so we gambled and just put one in that looked like it. That was not a good idea. Of course we cannot blame the GPR for road works and they were there.

to drive and in the end we finnished up at a very big round about and there we came to a stop. Liz had a bright idea to ask a taxi driver. He was willing to drive in front to the Hotel. But I had to turn around. Easier said than done. Had to find my way around this plaza, and if you do not know Spanish drivers you soon will. They will just cut you of like that. Anyway driviung back towards the taxi driver, we saw the sign of our hotel. We waved to the driver when we passed, screaming out, we found it. Have no idea if the heard us. We booked in and settled in a nice room, for we are here for five days. You have to stay for that time if you want to see the Alhambra. That is where you come for.It is booked out for weeks and only alow small groups.Not easy to get in. We booked it in March. Our first day in Granada you guest it, we visited the Cathedral. Very nice church. They do charge you to get in, we supose to keep up the cost. It was a

bit of a walk to get there but it went through all sorts of shopping streets, that takes it even longer to get there. Lucky it was siesta time and a lot were closed. But it was made without accidents. Certainly a nice church as they all are in Spain. Rich on treasures and worth the visit. Now we had to go all the way back. We stopped for a meal and met up with some very nice locals. Tomorrow a new day with more things to see, till than Liz & Allan
