's visit deraka and subsequent trip to Madrid to go see the Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu have left me a lot of pictures on disk hard and not only mine with Barça shirt. I'll make a couple of posts with photos, the first one dedicated to me is that the city one of the most beautiful cities in the world: the city where I had the luck to be born and where I have the good fortune live. My city . Perfect synthesis of old and new, of the Muslim and Christian, last conquered territory to Castile, while the place began to take shape the American epic. Spilling from the foothills Sabika, let me show you a small part of the vast beauty of the very noble, very loyal, great name, very famous and heroic city of Granada.







One of the first places we visited was the Santa Iglesia Catedral de Granada, a mixture of styles and some construction raruna so convoluted that you laugh at the Cathedral of Kingsbridge.



Here you have it from the air. At first you should have had two towers, but, oh surprise, we ran out of pasta (what I remember that?).












Things that may not only knew of the Cathedral Granada: Holy Week, all the confraternities of penance (32 if I remember correctly) made the station from their respective districts to the Cathedral, what is known as a career officer, was put inside-step-and even after Mass hear the leave to return to their temples.




Another thing that may not only knew of the Cathedral of Granada is in an annex, the Royal Chapel are buried the very Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, along with his daughter Juana (la loca) her husband Philip the Handsome and son of them.




Then we strolled along the Gran Vía de Colón, the city's main street, " ending at Constitution with its gallery of illustrious Granada. In this area there are many old buildings and palaces that have now been converted into offices of the administration. Here are the current Ministry of Education.



Elena Martín-Vivaldi, intellectual.



Manuel Benítez Carrasco-yes, I searched for xD-singer.



Juan City, aka San Juan de Dios. Benefactor of the poor of this city, founder of the Hospital that bears his name.



Manuel de Falla, without comment.



Eugenia de Montijo, granaína that became Empress of France.





After that, an obligatory stop at the Mirador de San Nicolas, one of the places of residence permantenes of Appreciation of Granada (near the Faculty of Fine Arts, of course) also known for offering the best image of the Alhambra and probably one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.



Here you can see the Torre de Comares (jeeeeeeee: D I remember! XD) (just me), Palacios Nazaríes buildings, the elongated structure and cutting different is the Palacio de Carlos V, and the background is the tower of St. Mary's Church of the Alhambra (the Easter tour inside the walls of the monument is spectacular, like it or not this tradition.)



here also see the Alcazaba, which is what is right. The furthest away is the Torre de la Vela. It was the apex of a defensive triangle where the soldiers settled in the citadel of the Alhambra.




Here you can well understand the nature of defensive enclosure of the Alhambra. Why the city grew at his feet. Easy to defend, impossible to attack, the Alhambra, Granada, succumbed and surrounded and besieged by hunger.



And the Cathedral view from a little corner of the old neighborhood Albaycín.


The next day we visited the Science Park of Granada, now mysteriously renamed Science Park of Andalusia (¬¬...). With 70,000 square meters is one of the largest Europe. The most characteristic feature is the Observation Tower:




Party in the Park, seen from the tower:





most interesting thing about it was an exhibition of taxidermy:










(Lobooooooooo * _ *)















includes a mini-library, with adequate facilities to comfortably read:




The Darwin exhibition had live animals:
















And the beautiful tropical butterfly:











From the tower can see all Granada. Here you can see on the city Veleta Peak, second highest in the Iberian Peninsula (the first is back: P).



Zaidín The adjacent district:



Downtown:



La Alhambra. That ugly orange thing is an aberration known as the Alhambra Palace Hotel (sigh).



On the afternoon of that day did nothing more than going to see play future winner of five league and two Champions Cup Danone's supercomputers, the glorious and powerful Granada CF.



lost, indeed.




The next day we were also in the middle. Here the characteristic statue of Isabel and Columbus.



For mediation dilharei could access the interior of the Royal Chancery, a beautiful building that you see here below:




And storey:



Today

judged the most serious crimes. Formerly served in prison, and the columns and walls can be found inscriptions left by the prisoners.







whole building is steeped in the symbology of the Catholic Monarchs and his grandson, Emperor Charles V. Here the background is the famous motto "Both rides", the yoke and arrows.







Emperor Charles V. Aguila It differs from that of their grandparents (the San Juan) by the two heads, symbolizing the old possessions in Europe and the New World. Note the Lamb (of God) subject to the bug, showing the ultra-Catholic character of the monarchy.



This shield is already the Catholic Monarchs. At first it seems odd that display only the symbols of Castile, I think it was because the Kingdom of Granada fell under Castilla, and not of Aragon (the effective union of the 5 kingdoms took place later.)



From the terrace, the church of San Gil and Santa Ana and the background the Torre de la Vela.











Darro and career from a different perspective:




Next day it was to visit the Alhambra.




started by the Generalife (garden without peer), gardens found on the mountain next to the Sabika, where sultans were relaxing between sources and soothing chirping of birds (of fools had no hair, I tell I).





Here you can see the Alhambra from the Generalife:





A gazebo, very abundant in the Generalife and the Alhambra. Emperor Charles V had dinner every night in one of these.



Already in the Alhambra, we are on the way to the Alcazaba, the defensive enclosure, exterior, where the plate is me I love it. When Napoleon came up with the bright idea to invade Spain, the French, in addition to stealing Immaculate, was spent trying to destroy the Alhambra. They surrounded the monument with a line of gunpowder seized, leading to occasional Destroy tower and a palace. If the disaster was not complete we owe after Jose Garcia, who filed his own body to save the site Nazari.






great view from the Tower of Homage:




The most emblematic tower of the Alhambra, the candle or the Bell. From this tower, the January 2, 1492, was waved the royal banner of Castile, ending the Reconquista the same claims and the same rite of Granada and we still want us to take some disrespectful. Currently flying the flags here in the European Union, Andalusia, Spain and Granada.



ITEM: children, if you're going for my city and see a red and green flag is NOT the flag of Portugal, no. It is OUR flag.



(HAD to say it.)



La Catedral, Plaza Nueva, Gran Via



Further, the Camino de Ronda, the train station, La Chana.



Cube Tower first, Albaycín the background.



This muqarnas you see are called, are typical of Moorish architecture.


Patio of the Myrtles.





the palace walls are decorated with texts Nazari, which can be either the Koran or nazarita poems by the great author, Ibn Zamrak (a poem of his beautiful is carved around the source of the Yard Lions, and shows the operation of the hydraulic mechanism).



An oratorio (I'm particularly proud of this photo ^ ^).








More muqarnas on the roof.



Sadly the famous Patio de los Leones is being restored. With the Lions have already finished, the result is spectacular, but they are taking photos.

A snapshot of the Palacio de Carlos V, which is not quite there, but good. The Palace, as we have seen in photos from outside the Alhambra stands as an aunt surrounded Barcelona jersey Real Madrid (ahem). However I think one of stupidity made insulting the Emperor for this because we do not know the state where there were buildings located (for example, the Church of Santa Maria de la Alhambra is on the remains of a mosque that was already destroyed). I think that if the palace was completed (you know that our good Carlos I ran out of money for the loss of territories and stuff) in all its splendor, few criticize the work.




At the end of the Alhambra, Gate of Justice. Sorry for the picture is a little stalk but I was slightly tired:



The outer arch-guess you can see more good-the hand of Fatima, and inside the key symbol of the Nazarene. The Gate of Justice has held up well (bombing, typical earthquakes in this area, etc.) which says that the day to come together and key hand-that is, the day it collapses the Gate of Justice, will be the end of the world.
(Or you can be the day that the mayor sold the land to build the Alhambra Palace Reloaded, go you to know ¬ ¬).

One of the best works of the Renaissance from Granada, the Pillar of Charles V, curiously ignored by almost everyone. It is an allegory about water and rivers in the city, the Darro and Genil (yes, I read this, because obviously I only see a pillar there xDDDD).





To end the day a bit impromptu photo Genil River (who said we had no water here? We spare, flat), to the side of which I was born, literally:)




I hope you liked my city, and that I feel encouraged to visit one day if you do not know her personally. Sorry for the mistakes that have been committed, but it's late and I wanted to make this buttoned up today.

Next stop, the other great city of my loves: Madrid.
