This morning we got up and left Tarifa after a quick breakie. We were headed for a city called Granada but first we stopped in a town called Rhonda.
Rhonda is famous for its bull fighting arena which has been converted to a museum for the public to view. I think it was around this time that I actually realized what went on in a traditional bull fight. I think I had the naive view that a bull fight was just a guy waving a piece of material around to enrage a bull not that it would be tortured to a painful death. They have long fork like things that they spear into its neck and other such objects to hurt the bull. Needless to say,and no disrespect to the Spanish tradition but i wasn't really for bull fights any more.
We walked around the bull fighting arena,saw the stables the bulls were kept in and walked through the museum.
Next we walked to 18th century puente Nuevo bridge over the 100m deep el Tajo gorge overlooking the serrania de Rhonda mountains.
It was almost time to meet back up
With our tour guide so Emma and I walked through a main walkway that had all these pretty paper ornaments hanging over head. We then bought some amazing frozen yogurt with add ins and went to meet everyone to get back on the bus to go to Granada.
Granada is a student town so we planned to party that night. It also was once ruled by Isabel and Fernandez who I referred to earlier and we'd go see there palace the next day.
We got to our hostel,got ready to head out to a real tapas bar. I say real because it was packed and you were lucky to get a table. Just like izzy taught us we put our elbows on the bar and ordered drinks which we got free tapas with. Once everyone had had enough we headed to another tapas bar which was empty except for us which I liked not having to fight to get to the bar. We had a few more drinks and tapas then moved onto our first club of the night.
I think it was kind of Indian inspired was very cool and chilled and we could request songs(winning!),cheap drinks and shots which wasn't good because I got shouted a tequila shot,definitely struggled to keep that one down. We stayed at this club till we had our cheap drinks worth then for taken to another club that kind of reminded me of the club academy in Canberra if anyone's been. It had cages so of course our group had a good time in them.
I think around 4,my friend josh and I decides it was bed time and managed to find on the way (I thought was home) people from our tour in a kebab shop,which was great because
A) for once in my life I actually had no idea where we were going and was leading josh in the complete wrong direction and we now had people to follow home
&
B) kebab shop = feed
Eventually we made it safe and sound back to the hostel.
Had to be up in a few hours for a tour :( not happy times that's for sure .
Over and out xx
