Iglesia Guadalupe Things have changed a bit here since our last visit a year and a half ago. There has been more restoration work and more hotels and other businesses opening but there has also been an increase in crime and general seediness. There was an American ex-pat (who we actually knew from our previous trip) who was brutally attacked the night before we arrived and who died from her injuries two days later. I was approached in a cafe by a guy who---absolutely unsolicited and in broad daylight----offered to sell me drugs. I heard stories from both locals and ex-pats alike that crime is rapidly increasing in the city and that the local police is unable----or unwilling----- to do anything about it. I must admit, I noticed a lot of things here that I didn't remember from before and I felt on edge, maybe even a little paranoid, walking the streets of Granada.
