I’m just mesmerized by the amount of detail put in these archways. This is an example of Magnificent Islamic Architecture; this was constructed in … Continue reading 2020: Road Trip to Granada: Day 3: Alhambra
A view from our AirBnB location in Albaicín. Well, the hot water that day was non-existent along with the lack of toilet paper. So, my friend and I messaged our AirBnB host about the issue.
