The eighth-century-old site of the Alhambra was named for the reddish walls and towers that surrounded the citadel: al-qal’a al-hamra in Arabic means red fort or castle. This was all the more appropriate whilst we were visiting as we encountered another downpour of rain with Saharan red sand, the second in 10 days.

  1. I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and
    bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
