In Spain, they visited the Alhambra Palace, a stunning Arab castle, with columns, flower beds spread out on the walls, fountains right in the middle of the courtyard. It is located in Granada, this is the South-Eastern part of Spain. The palace can be reached by taxi, the trip will cost about 8 euros for two, by bus, or on foot. The walk will be anywhere from 30 minutes or longer, depending on where you start your journey. You will have to climb up a steep hill, so it will be quite a tiring journey.
