There are so many interesting things to do in Granada and we are trying to squeeze them all into one month! So far I have mostly just explored and shopped with A LOT of walking (to help burn off all of the "pan"). Today, I went to los Banos Arabes which was amazing. There were three different baths- one hot, one cold, and one warm. We relaxed in each for a little and then we got a back massage. After the massage, we laid on a hot stone while looking up at the beautifully lit up ceiling. It really helped to relive the stress of being overwhelmed with school work and time management. The architecture and decor was nothing like what I have ever seen in the US. It was so intricate and complex and just very traditional. Because the US is so modern, I am not used to seeing all of these old buildings but I love the designs and learning about the history behind it all. The main difference between Granada and Newark is definitely the rich history. From the Cathedral and Capilla Real to the Alhambra, everything is hundreds of years old. The only history I know about Newark is about the car dealership, which is still very modern. I've always been a fan of museums making this aspect of Granada very intriguing to me. I can not wait to learn more from both my classes and the tours of the historical buildings!
