Día Doce: Conducir y Granada.

Tuesday, we left Ronda to head to our last city in Andalucía: Granada. We drove along the Mediterranean Sea for a long time and stopped in a city called Nerja on the coast. The weather was sunny and beautiful and so warm. I loved it! We stopped at a restaurant for what was supposed to be a quick lunch but actually turned out to be quite long. My mom and I just split a small sandwich and then had ice cream and my dad just had a salad. Once my mom and I finished eating, we hurried down to the beach to get as much time there as possible. Unfortunately, when we got there, we found many topless women, bottomless kids, and just plain weird people. A little girl took off her bottoms and peed in the sand and at that point it was too much, so we went back up to find my dad. So our Mediterranean beach experience wasn’t the best, but it was still nice being in a beach town. Later, we left to get back on the road for Granada, and didn’t reach the city much long after. When we got there, we drove around the confusing roads for a while, then returned the car (thankfully) and found our hotel. We stayed in a suite! The suite was the size of an apartment, with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony. Super nice, but very loud at night. The walls and windows facing the street were not very noise-cancelling, so everything that went on outside was clearly audible. That usually didn’t bother me, though, as I’m always pretty tired after a long day of traveling. Well once we had found our hotel and settled in, we left to explore the streets and find something to eat. We found a place where I had some delicious garlic grilled chicken and my parents had garlic shrimp. Yum! Then, after exploring some more, we called it a night.
