All of that waiting gave us plenty of time to enjoy the Spanish way of life. Basically coffee, food and wine, well and a bit of shopping, seeing as Katie did not pack for the cold weather.
After getting sick of the tortilla de patatas (basically potato omelette) we discovered all of the shawarma and arabic food that Granada has to offer. Delish!
Last night we actually came across a devine spanish tapas retaurant that did not cost an arm and a leg. For those headed to this city, check out Bodega Castaneda in the Arab quarter. Wine for 2 euro a glass, which comes with free tapas and gorgeous plates of meat, cheese and veg. 25 euro left us stuffed.
However, the palaces inside the last bastion of the Islamic Empire on Mainland Europe were truly a site to be seen. The main Nasrid Palaces are beautifully covered in arabic script, design and tiles. We will attach some more pictures from the trip tomorrow.
Now onward to Tarifa, Spain´s most southerly point.

Sounds like a very attractive place! Katie, my dear, how could you have NOT packed for cool weather? Silly rabbit!
Miss you both, take care! xo
I didn´t know how cold it was going to get, plus I didn´t want to be a super girl and bring too much. Had to buy a sweater and boots, because the lulu hoodie and the running shoes were not going to cut it ;)
I like the blue jacket. Is that what you bought? I may be cool in parts of Morocco, too.
I said "I" may be cool in parts of Morocco. Is that a Freudian slip?
It will be cold for sure. No, that is my old MEC rain jacket. I bought a pair of boots, a sweater and some jeans. So I should be ready. We´ve got sleeping bags to keep us warm at night too.
