Day 237  Mar 29  2015  Cambil Spain


We drove to Granada to tour the walled city of Alhambra.  We could not get the general tickets that let us access the palace as they were sold out.  We ended up with garden tickets that gave access to everything other than the palace.  The gardens were nice and the old fort we went into was also nice but not very impressive.  There was a glass wall that let you see into the palace area and we were happy that we did not get tickets to the palace.  It was enough to see what we saw and the kids and I were happy to leave.  I believe that Alhambra is one of the most visited sites in Spain for history.  I think it holds the same kind of status as Chichen Itza as it is the most famous ruins in the respective country but not the most interesting.
