Mid morning we caught the local bus into the downtown area of Granada with the plan of getting our first view of the city and getting our head around "the lay of the land". We also planned on picking up our ticket to the famous Alhambra which we had previously ordered online. The first thing we noticed once off the bus was how packed the place was with pedestrians. At times it was almost impossible to move. But despite the crowd we managed to get around and see some of the city, the river walk, Mirador San Nichols and views of Alhambra across the small river valley.

There was one disappointment in the day. When we picked up our tickets to the Alhambra (in tended to be for Sunday) we found that we had made a mistake in the date we selected and the tickets were for 16th May not 16th April. Fortunately once back at camp we were able to buy tickets for Monday 17th April from the campground office.
