Trip update: In Granada now, staying at an old convent on the grounds of the Alhambra. I booked the hotel cuz it seemed like a great location and a historical building. And it is indeed a great location, but they seem to have done everything in their power to make the inside as saccharine as a Days Inn. Oh well.
Madrid was nice. Saw Guernica.
Sevilla was nicer -- orange trees everywhere and nice cafes. One thing that's nice about being here in winter is all the mountains are snow-capped.
Tomorrow is a big travel day -- train from Sevilla to Algeciras; then taxi to Tarifa; then the only 25-minute ferry ride to Tangier.
