After a very long flight, we arrived in Madrid and rented a Jetta. We immediately drove to Toledo, where we spent two nights.

Morning play


We stayed in a beautiful hotel that we highly recommend, Cigarral de Caravantes.
This is the view from our balcony.


Toledo was beautiful. Lots of little streets with cute shops and restaurants.
We immediately jumped on some tapas.


Cars DO drive through here. For the meter-challenged, that street is 4.6 feet wide.


People still live in these old houses and I don't think they have a clothes dryer.


Typical Spanish old city street. Pretty crazy.

On the way to Granada to meet the crazy French friends, we stopped at this little town to see the windmills inspired by Don Quixote.


We met our French friends in the Granada hotel.


A part of Alhambra.


Awww.


Cute.


Inside Alhambra (also the following photos)


View of the city from Alhambra (and the following photos)


Here you can see the old city in the foreground and the new developments in the back.


Same here.

I have to say that I did not enjoy the Alhambra very much. I liked the city much more.
Alhambra is one of Spain's most popular attractions, so I must be in the minority.
