Albayzín: Going up
Albayzín (al-buy-thin) is an ancient Granada neighbourhood dating from the Arabic era in Spain, about a thousand years ago. It ascends a hill opposite the other main Moorish contribution to the city, la Alhambra, a giant fortress/palace, which we visited and of course I photographed.

City bus. This road is too old and tiny to have sidewalks or carry full-size vehicles.

This church actually only has one tower, so you're not missing anything on the left.

Note the three kings climbing the chimney on the right. In Spain, they bring the presents, not Santa Claus, who originated in northern Europe.
