Day 34 and our penultimate Saturday in Spain on Eurotrip 5. We made our way via bus, which runs every half an hour on a Saturday from just outside the campsite into Granada around lunchtime. The fare is Euros 1.5 each and during the week, the buses depart every 15 minutes on the quarter of the hour.

 

There was some kind of fiesta and procession occurring in Granada that day and many of the city centre roads were closed to traffic. A pair of large bulls was pulling the centre peace of the procession.

Later we visited the cathedral of Granada. Unlike most cathedrals in Spain, construction of this cathedral had to await the acquisition of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada from its Muslim rulers in 1492; while its very early plans had Gothic designs, the construction of the church in the main occurred at a time when Spanish Renaissance designs were supplanting the Gothic regnant in Spanish architecture of prior centuries.

 

Weather was mixed again – blighty is enjoying warmer and drier weather than Spain at the moment. Apparently that happens for a day or two every few years… Dinner was a nice steak cooked on the BBQ.
