After our time in Gibraltar, we headed to the BEACH!
Two glorious days on the Mediterranean.
It was incredible and relaxing.
The water was FREEZING, but we had to get in- it's the mediterranean.
It literally took your breath away.
look how beautiful!
After our free days, we headed to our final stop of our Andalusia- Granada.
It was so fun.
So much history and such an interesting mix of Spanish and Arabic cultures.
Granada is historically significant to Spain. It is where their most important king and queen are buried.You may have heard of them? Ferdinand and Isabel?
They are the ones that supplied the funds for Colombus' trip to America
and are also the sole reason for the unified country of Spain.
The cathedral.
Where Ferdinand and Isabel are buried.
The old silk trading area.
Now it is full of arabic shops.
