Alhambra from the Arabic. الحمراء

 Now I know why Grenada is known by its “Alhambra”, it is an amazing place and have yet to see the inside of the different palaces, rooms, gardens… those tours are sold out and I have to find a way somehow to see the inside if not I have to come back. The name Alhambra comes from the Arabic word “hamraa”  meaning “red”and it is a red palace on top of a hill overlooking Grenada. What a stunning place, the gardens the water the thick walls of the forts all built by Berber workers from North Africa. Grenada and the whole andalussia area is full of monuments. There were buses and buses of tourists from all nationalities plus all the people walking directly from the city like myself… 


Here are some pics, they speak for themselves…. I have no words to describe what I saw today …just amazing …
