So. freaking. cool.
When I come back to France, I am adding this place to the itinerary. It's a huge fortress (I think the largest one in Europe? According to Pierre?) with a million little shops and restaurants and houses inside the castle walls. It was so picturesque. We ran into a singing group from the University of Grenada (like 1.5 hours away from Noemi's hometown), so Noemi ran over and talked to them, and we took our picture with them. Then, a bunch of girls having a bachelorette party came over and started dancing to their singing. And then pretty soon everyone in the vicinity was either dancing around and singing traditional Spanish songs, or watching, highly entertained. It was hilarious. We had a delightful little picnic dinner just outside the walls, near the lower city. Baguettes, nutella, mousse du canard, Spanish tortillas, chorizo, some sort of sausage that I can't remember the name of, and chips were the menu. Yum! (Seriously, how will I eat when I get home? Too bad cheese won't last a 14 hour plane ride.)
That sounds like my kind of village! So enchanting.
