La Alhambra

Today we decided to take a very lengthy tour that explained the water system in Granada. I won’t go completely into it but in short the technology we use today was invented in Granada by the Muslims. All over the city you can see a lot of “aljibres” where the town used to collect water from. I was able to go down to the water deposit where the water was collected and purified for drinking. Incredible.

After the water tour we headed to the Alhambra …wow. I can’t even imagine being a queen living in that castle with all of those beautiful gardens. The place is quite impressive especially when you think of how old it is.
