Pictures of Granada, with captions now

Hey everyone, here are my pictures of Granada.  It's right next to the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.  I think Granada might be my favorite place in Spain--Valencia and Granada are very close, but Granada might be 1 point ahead.  Granted, it is really different living in a place and visiting it for a weekend, so maybe I'd like to live in Valencia more than Granada; don't know! You can probably tell by the pictures, but Granada is one of the few places in Spain that really didn't get affected by the Christian Inquisition and so, most of the buildings are Muslim.  There is the Cathedral, but the Christians weren't able to destroy La Alhambra, like they did with so many other Muslim buildings around Spain.  Now, Granada still has a Muslim influence since it's Southern Spain, close to Morocco.  There were actually a lot of things from Morocco sold in Granada, like the leather, etc.  Anyway, here are the Granada pictures (and some of Thanksgiving):
