When you visit Granada, you go see the Alhambra. That’s like THE THING you do when you’re in town. I didn’t do any research behind it, I just booked tickets a few weeks back because people told me to. I shared a pic from the previous night of us at the lookout point of the Alhambra which was a beautiful view.

We didn’t really have any hard plans today as the main thing to do in Granada was to go see the Alhambra. Our Airbnb was just 2 blocks away from the Cathedral in Granada. In the mornings we’ve walked past it, streams of tour groups would be seen walking in and out of it so we figured we should probably go check it out.

When we arrived into Sevilla yesterday I started doing my research on the things to see and do in this city. I quickly found out that one of the main attractions called the Alcazar was a filming location for Dorne in Game of Thrones. I think I overestimated my ability to handle the heat and got ahead of myself to book tickets to visit this royal palace knowing that the only available time was at the peak temp of the day. 

Because we didn’t have Portugal as part of this trip. I wanted…no, I needed to have a traditional Portuguese egg tart while I was in Spain. I grew up eating the egg custard tart at dim sum and I’ve had the egg tarts in Macau which are slightly different which are the ones I prefer. I wanted to know how the original ones tasted.

Joanna got about 2.5 hours of sleep last night after packing her bags and then waking up at 3am to catch an uber to the airport. I walked her downstairs to get this pic for the blog…I mean say goodbye to my wonderful wife who is cool with letting me stay in Spain for a week while I run around with my friends. 18 hours later she texts me that she’s back safe at home in our bed.
