Tapas Tapas

Granada has the best tapas ever!!!! I'm actually screaming this right now!

The thing we forget about tapas is that it's supposed to come with a drink! Somewhere along the line, North Americans were tricked into buying tiny portions of food for a ridiculous amount of money. In Granada it is the opposite. You buy a cheap drink (around 2€) and you get a plate food with it :)

I met two really cool girls (Mexican and Spanish) who came tapas hunting with me. We had a blast trying new drinks and walking around Granada. Which by the way has the hugest personality for such a small city.

The main attraction in Granada is the Alhambra. This is basically what they've called a huge piece of land containing Islamic architecture and gardens. I loved it, even if I almost passed out from the sun. My pics don't do the place justice... Google it if you have a chance. Or if you end up in Spain, make sure to go to Granada to see for yourself ;)
