The inscription on the statue ends with "Rex Cat". While I'm sure this doesn't mean "King Cat", it surely looks like it :-) - Fuente de la ola
What a lovely wave fountain. - Carmen de los Mártires
Nazari patio in Carmen de los Mártires. Very small, very cosy, very quiet. Lovely. - Carmen de los Mártires

A lovely garden very close to Alhambra. And free. And almost empty. - Carmen de los Mártires
No true palace without a couple of peacocks. - Carmen de los Martires Gardens
Another lovely geometrical fountain. For some reason not perfectly symmetrical. - Monasterio de San Jerónimo
The main chapel of the monastery was built in 1504-1522. A very notable church, the elevated choir and the super busy decorations on the walls and ceiling. - Monasterio de San Jerónimo
A very very busy renaissance church. - Monasterio de San Jerónimo
And the very busy ceiling. - Monasterio de San Jerónimo

Royal Chapel portal. - Palacio de la Madraza
The madrasa was founded in 1349 by Yusuf I, Most of the building (now part of University of Granada) was replaced with a baroque building. These (I think) are the doors of Saints Caecilius and Gregory of Elvira. With pomegranate underneath, the symbol of Granada. - Plaza de la Trinidad

Surely this is not a coincidence, as they must know about Peppa Pig, right? - A chameleon!

This is a very bold dress. - Window shopping in Granada
- Window shopping in Granada
Of course bold dresses need bold shoes... - Window shopping in Granada
Somehow I can see Louis XIV walking around in such shoes. Ok, maybe the heels are not high enough for him. - Granada
The streets look pretty even when the shops and restaurants are closed. - Window shopping in Granada
This are some superbly executed fruits, veggies, plants, flowers, birds ... - Window shopping in Granada
Take a look at these merengues! Below are some normal-sized cakes. They must be around 20 cm tall! - Traffic sign

These baths are very similar to the Alhambra baths. - Granada

No, this is not an entrance, but a tiny niche (called a taqa). Probably used to store a vase or a jug of water. - Palacio de Dar al-Horra
View from the Palace towards San Cristobal. - Iglesia de San Nicolás
This is one of the strangest churches I've been to. Built in 1525, but the roof was destroyed by fire. So this decoration might be temporary. - Iglesia de San Nicolás
Yes, an unusually trippy church ceiling indeed.
