Daily Drena: What a unique town
We’ve finished our first week of classes! Drew is reemerging as a live human finally and we hiked up along the Albaycin wall to the top of the Sacromonte area. We experienced modern graffiti on historical structures, which is seen as a part of their culture instead of a disappointment, or at least that’s what the guidebook tells us. From the top we have a wonderful view of the city and can see the old part of town and the new parts. We are living in the old part and agree that we made an excellent choice – it has so much more character. We see a horse freely roaming on the hill, and many cave houses dug out from the side of the hill.
On the way there we discovered a plaza that has tons of people, along with what they say is the most popular view of the Alhambra & mountains, and there is a little craft fair. What fun! So on the way home I send Drew home and stop by to explore deeper. The people selling their crafts remind me of people that might be the cave dwellers and this is when they emerge to make their money. I also find a tiny little, not too sketchy grocery store with bread and food supplies en route to home! This is momentous. BTW, the eggs are not refrigerated at this store, confirming the egg refrigeration debate I’ve heard in the past. Is it necessary to refrigerate eggs?? I didn’t buy them regardless.
