 This is breakfast, Spanish style. Freshly squeezed orange juice, toast, tomato and coffee. I don't know why Frank looks so serious!
One of the major streets in Granada is the Grand Via De Colon which is lined with elegant buildings. If a building needs renovating or has a change of use then is is simply gutted but the facade is kept.
 There is an area of Granada, the Albaicin, which is like a rabbit warren of steep streets and laneways. It is on a steep hillside opposite the Alhambra .At the top is a wonderful lookout, the Mirador de San Nicolas. It was the site of a 13th Century fortress where there were once over 30 mosques.

The mountains in the distance are the Sierra Nevada which can have snow on them till July. Spanish roof tiles fascinate me as although they are all the same shape they are multicoloured.
