Grace, another woman staying with my homestay family, and I spent the evening sipping tempranillo wine, savoring olives and watching the sun go down. Granada is easy to enjoy with so many plazas and the view from each one is very different, relaxing or entertaining or just peaceful. This is the view across the Rio Darro from the Mirador San Nicolas to the Alhambra, a favorite gathering place for the local neighbors who live on the steep hillsides of the Albaicin and also tourists who enjoy just hanging out for a few hours to watch such a simple things as the sun dip down and the sky grow dark.The atmosphere at San Nicolas is like a fest as musicians sing, the oddly talented perform, and buskers hawk their wares. Dogs run free and often upstage their owners in territorial stand-offs with intruders. But mostly the plaza is quiet, hushed, and you are able to enjoy the evening, the end of another perfect day.
