One of the exciting excursions Suffolk Madrid had organized for this spring was a weekend trip to Granada - a beautiful little city in the South of Spain, at the bottom of the Sierra Nevada. We were a cozy group of around 40 people and we stayed in a cute hotel within walking distance from the city center.
We had a great weekend with lots of sun and amazing food! The Moroccan restaurant we ate at the first night was incredible - homemade mint/lemon/orange-blossom lemonade, spicy tomato soup, couscous with meat and cinnamon, and some delicious mint tea at the end. We all loved the crazy mix of different flavors!
The next day we spent the entire afternoon visiting the Alhambra. Located on a hill overlooking Granada, this old fortress is an incredibly impressive piece of Moorish architecture. We spent the day wandering around in its several buildings and beautiful gardens.
At night we watched a Flamenco Show, once again, that turned out to be a very entertaining experience. Apparently, women of all ages, sizes, and talent-levels are allowed to be on stage. Luckily, the second group left us absolutely speechless with their dancers, and especially with the cute guitar player...
