Day 12 - Granada

We decided to have a day out in Granada.  The last time we went we visited the Alhambra but not the city itself so we went to have a look.  I decided to set Jeeves for the Cathedral in the city centre knowing that we probably wouldn’t get right to it but hoping to get somewhere nearby.  We got within about 1km of the place and decided to find a parking spec.  As look would have it we found one almost straight away – a pretty unusual occurrence given our experiences to date.  We had a coffee then a wander. 
Granada's an interesting place and we didn't even do the main sights.  We ambled around the old quarters - there are several of them (?).  Included in the “tour” was a visit to the Mirador de San Nicolas.  From here you get a really good view of most of the city, the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada above the town – it’s very scenic and I’m not sure my photo does it justice...

We eventually made it back to the car, via lunch and more coffee, and Jeeves guided us back home… When we got back to the apartment late in the afternoon we noticed that workmen had been in and fixed the aircon again – for the last time (hurray).
