¿Qué Es La Vida?: Granada

Stop number 4, my personal favorite. Granada is up in the mountains and it kind of reminds me of Aspen. The word granada, in Spanish, means pomegranate, and there are pomegranate trees all over the place. Our hotel was on the top of one of the mountains, near the Alhambra, the fortress/castle that belonged to the Muslims, and then the Spanish.

The Alhambra is hands-down one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. First of all, the view is incredible because you have the Sierra Nevadas on one side, and the town on the other. It's also cool because it has so many different types of architecture. When the kings of Spain took over Alhambra, they built this impressive Roman-style palace, but I think that my favorite part was the Muslim palaces. There's this one particular courtyard that has a large pool in it so that the palace is reflected in the pool.

Also, Granada is supposed to have a crazy night life, so one night , some friend and I got a cab and told the guy to take us to a club. He took us to this place called Mae West, which he said was the most popular club. We got there at 2am, maybe 2:30, and there was no one there. At first we were a little disappointed, but we stayed, and by 4 am the place was packed. It was crazy. The people on my program are all about partying, it's actually really gross. I'll tell you guys more about that later, in a more private forum, but it ended up being a pretty fun night.
