From the Alhambra into the countryside

One Saturday in January we got up too late to go for the walk we had hoped to do. So a bit grumpy about that, we set off to go somewhere, anywhere that was a bit out of the city.

With a map in hand we set off towards the Alhambra, hoping to find a pleasant walk up beyond the Alhambra hill. And what a walk we found!

All grumpiness was forgotten when faced with incredible views of the Sierra Nevada, and the way the blue of the sky contrasts with the red soil and the peculiar green of olive trees. Here are some more pictures. Need I say more? ES
