Breakfasts in the Paradors we have visited have always been wonderful. This morning there was a fruit on the buffet that I had not seen before. It was cherimoya. The word is the same in Spanish and in English. It was sweet and a bit creamy.


After breakfast we checked out the parador garden.

Roger and Gayle had a noon reservation for the Alhambra tour. We checked out of the Parador. Roger and Gayle went on their tour and Duke and I drove down into central Grenada and checked into our hotel. We are staying at the Melia. Our room is spacious and comfortable with a nice balcony.

We woke up to what we thought was heavy fog this morning but it turns out that the air is thick with Saharan sand blown in ahead of the current storm. Everything is incredibly dirty and you can see the dirty air.

I mailed postcards.

We met Roger and Gayle after their tour and walked with them down to the hotel


The man helping us with our luggage said dirty air won’t be a problem tomorrow because it will be pouring rain!
For dinner I had wonderful octopus.

Welcome to Granada and the beautiful Sahara winds.

Luckily we have been here before. I love Granada! Our friends are here for the first time. Unfortunately Granada is slightly less memorable under Sahara dust! I enjoyed your YouTube tour of Antequera. We are going there today.
