Grenada Day 2

 I am becoming familiar with Grenada after two days of roaming around downtown. I figured out how to navigate from my friend’s house to downtown: just let gravity take over, i.e downhill!!! Just like any ancient European city, Grenada has a rich history especially that it changed hands between Muslims and Christians. 

Narrow street in downtown Grenada (a casbah of sorts)


In front of a statue of Christopher Columbus asking the Queen of England to bless his expedition that discovered the new world.

Arabic writing still present on some structures in Grenada dating back to Othamans

King and Queen of Spain with their moorish counterparts 


Berber and Islamic dress code was part of ancient Grenada

Nice plaza with a church at one end..

Alhambra on top of the hill
