THE ALHAMBRA PALACE

FROM EL ABAICION, GRANADA, SPAIN

IMAGE NUMBER 688

El Albaicín is the old Moorish quarter of Granada. It's located on a hill facing the Alhambra and there are dramatic views of this area from the palace's famous rose gardens. This image was photographed from the terrace of a dreadful restaurant in El Albaicin and Atticus worked hard tocreate a view which avoided the tourists and looked inviting.  Don't go there on that account.
