The Alhambra was magnificent. Certainly one of the sites you want to see sometime.
The way the Arabs knew how to build for hot and dry weather!!!
The overnight train was a good adventure. We seemed to have been upgraded to first class and had a shower in our cabin. What a blessing that was after a day trecking around Granada and the Alhambra in high 30 degrees heat.
Connor seems to have taken a shine to Spanish history.
Back to the train, the conductors were exactly what you would cast in a movie of a Spanish night train. There was the large one with the moustaches, the small dapper one, the aloof boss and the efficient lady (who did most of the work).
They tended not to respond to requests. Were rarely findable and had two of the 10 tables in the dining room set aside for their exclusive use. In the morning they were all sitting at these tables reading the newspapers that were supposed to go to the customers.

Nevertheless they were very nice and helpful when you did find one. Our beds were made up when we stepped out for a dinner snack, so we had to put them back away again. When we were ready to sleep we luckily found a conductor to unlock the beds again.
In Barcelona now. Connor is playing on the computer and i am going for a swim.
