The house and neighborhood

We are staying in a little whitewashed house in the Albaycin (spelled a million different ways) neighborhood of Granada. A UNESCO world heritage site, the Albaycin is a jumble of ancient cobblestone streets dating back to Moorish rule during medieval times. There were settlements here even before that, but most physical structures date from this time. The house is a traditional “carmen,” or freestanding, walled-in house with an interior garden/patio, and it is just lovely. House pics in next post.

Typical neighborhood views.

Street outside of kids’ Spanish school.

Mac and Boss.
Did I mention we were up the side of a mountain. Also, keep on the shady side. Always on the shady side.
