Granada

Granada in the rain

A wet day is easy to fill: the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, the Cartuja, the San Jerónimo Monastery and the Parque de las Ciencias are all indoors. The Alhambra stays open in light rain, but the paths and the Albaicín cobbles turn slippery. The Nasrid Palaces time is fixed, so do not count on moving it.
