Last weekend I took a trip to Granada and I instantly fell in love with the city. The Sierra Nevada Mountains reminded me of home. The small, white, picturesque houses with blue accents that covered the hills were absolutely beautiful. The Moroccan-style architecture was fascinating and the free tapas were just a bonus! If you have a chance while you're abroad, I highly recommend traveling outside of Catalonia to explore other parts of Spain.
