I'm itching to take leaves to go somewhere else again.. I have more than sufficient leaves but I have my reservations about taking them. People in my co do not like to take leaves. They rather forfeit them at the end of the year! Wierd bunch of ppl...
Over at Granada, we managed to get tickets to Alhambra, the main attraction of Granada. It is a world heritage site. A city, fortress and palace of the kings of the Nasrid Dynasty.
The garden
The structure inside and views from various high points.
We also visited the Sacromonte neighbourhoods where they are famous for their caves, in which gypsies celebrate their nights with their flamenco songs and dance :)
On our way up the neighbourhood...
Flamenco Show!
We were also very fortunate to be able to catch the Easter procession at Granada! We didn't expect to be able to do so :) It was such a grand event, everyone at Granada stopped everything to be at the event. It is like a small town where everyone knew each other, all gathered together. I love the atmosphere.

After all the hype in the small town, our last stop in Spain was Barcelona. I like the big vibrant town. A pity we spent too little time over there. Just 1.5 days. The highlight... the famous La Sagrada Familia was on fire when we were there! Fortunately people were evacuated when we were on our way out.
The fire engines outside and there were smoke coming out at the sides of the cathedral.
Before all that happened...
In the interior of the cathedral was breath taking.
Our final stop, Lisbon. The apartment I chose was so romantic! Definitely recommended for couples! It is called Brown's Apartment.
Lisbon is a much quieter and slower place as compared to Spain.
Can you spot the faint rainbow at the back?
Most importantly, we had the famous EGG TARTS! It is FABULOUSLY! Crispy on the outside and soft and creamy in the inside. I'm starting to drool thinking about it.
That's about the end of my 12 days trip. Till the next time...
