Just before Easter Janet and I spent a few days in Southern Spain - the Easter break has given me the chance to catch up with the blog and to post some of my favourite images from the trip.
Our first couple of days were spent in Granada. The Spring weather was very pleasant and we found a great Tapas bar just down the hill from the Alhambra for when the temperatures dipped in the evening.
The first shot though is of the classic daytime view of the Alhambra from the Albacin, with the snowy slopes of the Sierra Nevada just visible in the background.
Our hotel (Hotel America) was situated in the grounds of the Alhambra, so we spent the early part of each evening wandering the grounds.
Palacio del Portal, Alhambra...
An evening view from the Alhambra across to the Albacin.....
The archways of the Palacio Carlos V (I usually try to include people in photographs for interest and scale)....

I love to photograph tourists, especially when they are busy taking photographs..........
And finally....tourism can be very tiring - I couldn't resist photographing this sleeping couple in the Casa Reales. I can't blame them....the stonework radiates so much heat from the daytime sun that anyone would fall asleep on that bench.
