So we finally decided to take my parents to the world famous Alhambra, it was originally constructed as a fortress in 889, and was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada (when the Moroccans occupied Andalucía).

It truly is one of the most spectacular sites i´ve ever visit in my life, the craftsmanship alone is just mind blowing.

I´d like to share of those photos. Was a very hot 100ºF, Granada has a different climate zone to what we are used to. The crowds of people were overwhelming too, there was literally every nationality..bus loads of American, Japanese, Italian, Scottish tourists just name a few of whom we spoke too.
