Golfing in Granada

Our apartment in Granada was set inside the Granada Golf Course.  It was modern, clean, bright and spacious with a glass enclosed terrace.  Temps while we were there were upper 30s but luckily the apartment had a split system airconditioner.  Unluckily, however, the outside component (that blows hot air) was located in the enclosed terrace!  Aircon on means terrace hot!  Lea didn't notice the problem.

The golf club bar/restaurant was a staggerable 20m away from the apartment and had a superb terrace...

with stunning views...

 

We drove into the centre of Granada and on surfacing from our underground car park, we were faced with a lovely plaza with a working fountain and a strange looking statue... two little heads???

We wandered the streets and came across an area filled with grungy little flamenco bars.  Of course nothing opens until at least 9PM.

We found a cafe in the more touristy area which Lea says gets a gold star for its pastel de queso al horno (baked cheesecake). It went down a treat with the Vino Rosado for lunch.

As it was stinkin hot and there are a few inclines, we took the soft option to explore the city...

 ... the tourist bus/train.

It gets you around the city sites with ease, but makes for crappy photos... I don't know how the Japanese do it..
