I had wanted to visit La Alhambra for many, many years, and in our recent trip to Spain my wish was granted. After a short road trip from Cádiz, we found ourselves in this magnificent ‘red castle’, surrounded by incredible history and stunning views that did not disappoint.

I simply walked around in awe, looking up at the ornate ceilings, out of the elaborate windows at the beautiful views and just enjoyed taking it all in.

There were also enough fountains to keep our son entertained for a good portion of the visit.

And when he got tired, he just rode the rest of the way on daddy’s shoulders.

After this wonderful stop, we were on our way to explore the city of Granada for a couple of fun days.
