Friday, 5/3. Alhambra is visible everywhere one goes. We don’t tour it until tomorrow. Did the Hop-On/Hop-Off to get an overall view of the city. It was more of a Wait/Hop-On/Wait-Some-More kind of tour. Most was wasted time. But we did get to see where things were and where to focus our time. Walking was the how.
Did two self-walking tours, both excellent. The cathedral was nice and relatively simple compared to the one in Toledo. The Royal Chapel, where Ferdinand and Isabel rest, was even less embellished. Relatively. Both audioguides were irritating in that the script assumed I knew complex architectural and religious terminology and was (or could become) a devout christian. Even more than usual, the Cathedral was nestled in among other buildings. Clearly, lawns were not a thing.
There is still a great deal of Moorish flavor. The market place could have been in Tangier. Hookah rooms. Moroccan style clothing for sale. Etc.
Found restaurants that served tapas with every drink. I experimented with the Tubo beer, Alhambra beer, sherry, and a sangria-like blend of wine and Sprite. Got four tapas. Yoriko had one beer and most of the sherry with one tapa. About $15.
We climbed to the scenic lookout. In fact we did it twice, the second time to watch Alhambra during sunset. Marvelous.
Columbus checking over his contract with Queen Isabel. Granada is where she gave her approval. She to spread christianity, he to make money. 
I’m not sure what this was all about. I didn’t see any money on the table, so he might not be a hustler. 
Waiting for the sunset to reflect off Alhambra. The sun is actually behind everyone and is not visible. 
A little more active waiting. 
The view is too nice for just one photo. 
Our hotel sign is at bottom. Pretty close.
