We arrived in Granada via Miami 5 days ago, and thats just enough time to get settled in to life here and also wish that we could stay for much longer. Its a beautiful city with a bustling market, cafes, restaurants, night life, just enough tourists so that its convenient but not too touristy...locals definitely out number the tourists. Everyone is very friendly and the renovated colonial homes that can be rented for little money are breath taking. Our casa is one of the jems, close to the main square, 2 minutes walk to everything, yet quiet inside and spacious enough that some days I never want to leave. The typical days are hot and dry (90F) and by 11am its usually too hot to do much, so having a shady courtyard with a pool has been a dream come true. We live on a busy street just off of the main square and every morning when I open the front door Ivy and Connor rush over to peek out the door and take in all thats happening ...horses and donkeys, pull carts and carriages around, people hang out on the front steps, market vendors stop to sell all kinds of stuff, and just the general foot traffic of a busy town- they love it!
