Week 12: Concert Prep -- 4/8 to 4/11/16

This weekend was another relaxing one of just staying in Granada, walking around the city, getting some ice cream, visiting the Hamman Arab Baths, and of course a lot of guitar playing. The highlight of the weekend definitely was going to the Arab Baths: five different temperature pools, a steam room, and a massage all with a North African/Arab atmosphere. I was not able to take any pictures while in there, but I'll post one below. It was definitely a cool experience, very much touristy, but at the same time a fun, student priced, relaxing Sunday Morning.

Also this weekend I was trying to get out and go to some parts of the city I don't usually go to, like Los Jardines del Triunfo, which is a small park with wide squares and beautiful spots to sit and encircle yourself in the gardens. Before heading to the Gardens, I went and got some of the best ice cream in Granada from Los Italianos. It's homemade ice cream, and one of my favorite flavors is their specialty La Casata, which is somewhat like an ice cream cake with vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and a tutti frutti type flavor too. It is definitely worth waiting in the long lines that seem to form before the doors open.

As for concert prep, everything is coming together! We open up the concert at a bar called Lemon Rock with a set of around 15 songs featuring some songs like Wagon Wheel, Free Fallin', La Vie En Rose, and La Camisa Negra. I'll post some pictures of the concert for my Friday Post! We are playing alongside three other bands, one of which is called La Submarina Amarilla (The Yellow Submarine) and is a tribute to the Beatles so needless to say I am excited for Thursday.

I am sorry again I do not have so many photos from this weekend, but here are a couple of what I have:

This photo is not mine, but this is one of the pools in the Hamman Baths

Here's a picture I took my first weekend here in Granada of the statue en
