    That's not what he said, eyes.

    Granada was first settled by native tribes in the prehistoric period, and was known as Ilbyr. When the Romans colonised southern Spain, they built their own city here and called it Illibris. The Arabs, invading the peninsula in the 8th century, gave it its current name of Granada. It was the last Muslim city to fall to the Christians in 1492, at the hands of Queen Isabel of Castile and her husband Ferdinand of Aragon.

        And then going to Marocco... :nuts: You'll spend half a day at the ferry...

        If you only have a week and a half to spend, spend a third at least in Madrid (go to the Prado twice) and vist el Escorial nearby.

        Malaga is nice, certainly worth a day or two. Spend a day in Granada as well, visit the alhambra, perhaps go skiing for a day as well. (if you're there in winter)

        Spend the remaining days somewhere in between Madrid and the south.


        Come back a second time for Barcelona and the north.
        we already have reservations at where we're staying. i have no control over that.
        also, it's only 8 days.
        tell me about these places, plz.
        ohyea, we're going to granada too.

              I sent him a pm. Think I lie? If you think I lie, it's a mistake. I'm sure he'll have some valuable input.
              He might like the idea. Shiva could be overcome more easily with the 2 of you.

                  Costa Del Sol (southern coast) is lively. If you go to Gibralter don't forget your passport.

                    You may already have some problems. The only way I can explain this is a story about my trips to Europe.

                    I have been to Europe twice. The first time was 9 to 11 days (I can't remember) most of the time spent in Southern Germany with 3 days spent in Paris and the second was 16 days with the beginning and end in Germnay (I know some people who live in Germnay) and the middle 11 or so days were in Italy. The highlight of the second trip was Venice simply because I spent 3 days and had much more time to do everything. You would expect Rome to the best since there is so much there, but I only spent 2 days there and that forced it to rush it all. I enjoyed the first trip much more since it was slower. So in short, the best part of trips to Europe isn't just seeing things so you shouldn't try to cram everything in.

                      if i want to get back in the US i think i won't forget my passport.
                      i have mine, but my older sister still needs to order one... after getting a new birth certificate...
                      umm btw, i look black in my passport photo. is that normal? i got it taken at the post office because i didn't know we could take our own.

                      oh and what do you mean by lively? my family isn't into the party scene unfortunately. . my father gave up drinking and my mom gets sick very easily. and my older sister is very unlively in most aspects.

                        ooh sounds like fun.

                        oh, i won't be rushed. i'm cool with seeing whatever. i just don't want to get there and have no clue about what we're doing.
                        one of the days we are going to waste because my parents will be tired. that is pool day.

                        my father wants my family to go to rome next year. to see the vatican and stuff...

                          It's easy to forget ones passport going to Gibralter since you're already in Spain, why would you need a passport? Gibralter is British and the Spanish are bugged by that so the border there is strict, or was. Likely it still is.

                          Lively, there's bullfights, girls with castinettes dancing traditional Spanish dances, open sidewalk eateries with seafood and greasy spicey sausages, lots of sun and mediteranian feel of freedom.

                          Lots of Germans go there for vacation.

                              I've only been to parts of Spain that aren't really spain, that is Euskadia (Basque Country) and Catalonia. Yeah, Barcelona is nice. If Shiva's going, I'm going too

                                8 days in 3 places that are quite far from each other...

                                Have fun wasting lots of your time travelling and not seeing very much of anything at all.
                                Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?
