Alone in Grenada

 Well today was a slow day in Grenada as my friend and host left for Geneva to be with his family and left me alone in his awesome house!! I took my time to get out of the house as I am on vacation and I have nothing but time and places to see. So first, I started with checking what all is left to see in Grenada and surroundings then started looking into neighboring cities such as Seville, Cordoba, Cadiz and Malaga! All these are within couple two or three hours from Grenada. Keeping in mind that I m flying to Geneva on the 30th to meet my friend’s family before embarking on a road trip to Aix en Provence, France, to visit a high school friend of ours. All in all the trip is beginning to take a turn for a faster pace of moving around. That is all fine by me as i need a fast pace ti burn all the energy I stored over the years of not traveling. 

Here are more pictures of Grenada I took today … 

Main Street

The Cathedral with a bus in the foreground 

Inside a church where a wedding was taking place

Cathedral from a different side 

Narrow street with a top cover to protect from summer hear

Colorful building with the cathedral in the back 

More awesome ancient buildings all over Grenada

History is everywhere in Grenada

A plaza where people dance, sing and just have fun

Casbah type streets filled with small shops… a lot of Moroccan shop owners 

Grenada is a very safe city, i walked everywhere in the day and at night and i have not been threatened by anyone. On the contrary people are so friendly and willing to help. They try their best to speak some English… I have been in cities where narrow streets are to be avoided; Algiers, Quito, and Lima; come to mind, but not Grenada. Another thing about Grenada is that all bars serve “tapas”, i.e. you buy a beer 🍻 of any size and you get a small plate of food for free. The food can be shrimps, vegetables, rice, some other seafood… with two or three beers you literally get a full meal for free!! So all you beer drinkers come over to Grenada…
