Granada, Spain

By the next morning, the power was back on, and life was getting back to normal in Granada. So it was time to go out and see the city! Granada was beautiful (historic, oranges growing on all the trees along the city streets, and some fun shops in the old silk market). And my streak of paella at every stop in Spain continued…

I’ve been searching for a nice chess set for a long time, and I stumbled into a store where I found one that really jumped out at me. The family has been making these unique pieces since the early 1900’s by hand, and the designs were absolutely beautiful. The owner showed me the process of how the designs are inlaid; it was so incredibly detailed and time-consuming! Figuring out how to get it back home was a bit of a challenge, but I’m so glad that I got it!
