Bib Rambla

Bib Rambla

Another beautiful day sunny Spain, so I decided to read for my independent study in Plaza Bib Rambla, which is near where I live and consequently near the cathedral. The plaza has been in use for nearly 1000 years as a bazaar and site for religious and social festivals. And I'm sitting there reading about it. Today it is a touristy place filled with cafes and restaurants and murky Arabic tourist shops with names like "La Medina" and "Espiritu de la Alhambra." It is also the home of the best churros y chocolate restaurant in Granada, and a nice place to sit in the sun if you don't mind solicitors, children, and pigeons. While I was reading, some hippies came near me and set up with their instruments and played Arabic music. The more things change....
