Yesterday was our first full day in Granada. (We finally got to see it in daylight) I woke up to a beautiful view of the Alhambra right outside of my window! It doesn't get much better than that. Maria took Victoria and I into the center of the city to show us our school and a few popular plazas. The walk is about 15 minutes for us and it is really easy to remember the way, so later we went out on our own to meet our professor for a bit. The city is amazing and we can't wait to explore more of it today.
Last night we also tried our first tapas at a tiny little tapas bar about 2 minutes from our apartment. We went to the store with Maria and her husband Antonio, and when we were walking back Maria told us that Antonio wanted to get a drink so they treated us to tapas. (If you order a drink, the tapas are free. Maria told us it is a custom practiced almost solely in Granada.)The food was delicious as was Maria's cooking. We were able to try her paella. If one thing is true, it is that I will not be going hungry in Spain. All Maria tell us is "come mas! come mas!". I haven't even been hungry once when I'm told to eat! Hopefully I will eat enough to please Maria because she said I can't go to the discoteca when my friends call if I haven't eaten enough!
