un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez


some photos - granada, spain

The Alhambra Palace palace and fortress complex of the Moorish monarchs of Granada in southern Spain. Hence, It's full of Arabic architecture styles. A very beautiful palace.



But of course, when Spain was returned to Catholic rule again, the palace was redecorated to the include Catholic elements.



For example, this patio known as the The Palace of Charles V, was commanded by Charles V, the Roman Emperor, who wished to establish his residence close to the Alhambra palaces.

By the way, on a side note, the man in this picture is Paco, the tour guide in the Alhambra. I would say one of the best local guides we had. Very funny man, very pasisonate about his work.



Nevertheless, this picture of one of the rooms shows a typical situation in which different cultures are reflected in the interiors which in turn reflects Spanish history of Muslim and Catholic rule.



Probably the most iconic picture of the Alhambra.
