Nazaries Palace, The Alhambra and the Generallife

Today we got even more cultcha when we saw a humongous palace, a massive castle and a beautiful, scenic garden.

Once again we got a audio tour to show us the majestic palace in which decades of history was held. Mum and I were surprised to see that the tiles in the palace were the same colour and the ones in the Arabian baths at our hotel. In mostly every room there was Arabic writing carved into the walls, each letter was chiseled into the wall about a thousand years ago. Water features could be found all around the general life section which were for decoration, drinking and bathing. The Alhambra was also massive, there were many lookouts and hidy holes, one of which I found that went above old houses that people used to live in and the other one that led up to a big lookout was really steep and when I say steep I mean steep it had four floors on which people used to live and it was also narrow. Lastly we went and saw Charles the 5th palace which had been transformed into a museum.
