It was interesting to see the arches of the Mezquita in person because they're the stereotypical picture of Andalucia.
I enjoyed seeing a flamenco performance, but the one in Triana was better because it was so much more authentic.
The Alhambra (huge Muslim fortress) was so grandiose that it was too hard to take it all in, and I eventually came to the realization that I like the Alacazar (Muslim Palace) more anyway.
Of course, I always like hearing the history of the different sights and seeing the different ways of life. However, during this excursion my favorite part was when we were on the top of the overlook and everyone was taking pictures of the Alhambra at night, and there were these two gypsy performers telling the story of the world's origins and offering some pretty convincing propaganda concerning imigration laws all through the art of yoga. Surrounding them were a group of disheveled looking spanish hippies smoking "something." It was a very genuine experience.
