One of the many lovely sights in Sacromonte situated on a hill (Granada). One can only travel up to this area in a mini bus as the roads are narrow. After alighting from the bus, we traveled on foot along the many smaller paths.

Great photos. Like my husband asked previously if you are a food critic. I think if I show him these photos, he will ask if you are a travel journalist. :)
