Spain, Day 23

7 Reasons why Andres is floating right now:

1) Granada
Think of Venice vs. Florence, with Cordoba being a prettier Venice and Granada being a gorgeous Florence without the David...

2) Carlos V
The Web Site worried me, the location appeared uncertain, but the "lujo" (luxury) remodelling of 2004 really touched up this hotel, and I´m staying in it. If only they could fix the reception on the TVs and expand their wireless signal.

3) There is a Supermarket around the corner
2 Liter bottle of water, cold: 0,37 Euros...

4) It didn´t reach 40 degrees C today, or maybe I just slept through it
Oh Siesta time, bane of my existence, yet so seductive. Sheesh!

5) Dinner was a plate of sausages

6) Granada is pretty
...wait did I already mention that?

7) I think the beers are stronger here

SEVEN reasons (as opposed to a normal number like 5, or 10) are listed in support of the Al Hambra´s Candidacy as one of the 7 new Wonders of the World. The final list will be announced on 7/7/07 (this Saturday!). Unfortunately, not having visited the palace yet, I can´t say how I would declare myself in this contest.
