More Granada Experiences

I finally feel like I am fully experiencing and getting to know Granada! This week I went to the main discoteca THREE TIMES, each time staying out until at least 4 am. Not only is it an extremely fun club, but it has the absolute best view of the Alhambra and it is incredible to sit outside and take it all in during the wee hours of the morning.

On Thursday I also went on a hike through the Sierra Nevadas with my program. There were some gorgeous views as we climbed through mountains and hills and passed along a small stream.

On Saturday, I also went to a bull fight with some friends. At first, I thought it was more like a fun show of running bulls and waving red flags. NOPE. In reality, it is a cruel, drawn out taunting, torturing, and murder of the poor animals. It was a good cultural experience, but I definitely do not need to return ever again.



Today, Sunday, there is a festival for a big holiday that they celebrate here. There will be a procession through the main street and tons of vendors along the way. It should be fun!
