Sacromonte

We took another free bus ride to a neighborhood in the hillside of Granada called Sacromonte.  There are homes, businesses and restaurants built into the natural caves in this area.  Lots of people come here to see flamenco shows, but we just walked around the winding streets.

We arrived as the sun was setting, so most of my photos are a little dark.

There was a nice view of El Alhambra as we walked down the hill to where we were staying.  All of the buildings are painted white and as you walk along the steep narrow streets, you are on the roofs of other caves.

In Sacromonte and on Elvira Street there are Moroccan tea houses, some offering hookas, or "cachimbas".
