This past weekend, the study abroad program, API, had a two-day trip to Granada, Spain. The bus ride was about three hours, and we had hotel rooms arranged for us to stay in for Friday night. The first day consisted of a walking tour and a Flamenco show. The youngest dancer was only 15 years old and it was her first formal performance. Their facial expressions were so animated and serious during their dance performance, accompanied by a guitarist and singer. The second day featured a trip to Alhambra, a palace and fortress with a beautiful view of the city and much greenery around the premises. We also were given much free time to explore the city and see the clear Mediterranean influence in the products and food in the area. Granada has a law that any restaurant selling beer must also give the buyer a free appetizer, or tapas. These can range from mini hamburgers to Spanish tortillas.
