Day 19 - "Free" tour?

Málaga to Granada - Airbnb apartment

We caught a morning bus to Granada, we are putting off hiring a car for as long as we can as some of the roads are very narrow and cars aren't permitted too close to the old parts of the cities, so you have to park well out of town. 

After arriving in Granada we caught a taxi to our next airbnb apartment. After doing some washing we went for a walk and tried to join up with a free walking tour, to be told when we arrived that it was only in Spanish. We though this would be fine, seeing as it's free, but we were then told it wasn't free, it was €12, so we grabbed one of their maps and tried to follow the path on our own. 

We were pretty successful we walked up lots of steps going through Albaicín and Sacromonte, and from there we had amazing views of the city and the Alhambra. At the Mirador de San Nicolás we sat down for a drink whilst enjoying the beautiful vista. We walked back to the centro through the Arab sector, eventually having dinner just around the corner from where we were staying at a paella restaurant. This is our first paella in Spain, we are very aware that they are tourist dishes as they are really only eaten in Valencia, but this place had very good reviews. We weren't disappointed, it was lovely, cooked to perfection and very tasty.
