And this will sound silly because it is obviously famous for it..
The abundance of oranges! and orange trees!
But they are literally everywhere, in the city. Its amazing.
In the plaza near where we stayed there were a heap of them. Most nights we ate dinner amongst the orange trees, muy bonito.
I also loved the gardens of the Alcazar. Like an understated and less complicated version of the traditional garden at la Alhambra, it was so tranquil.
And it only cost us a Euro or 2 to get in, thanks to our ‘student’ cards – The Alhambra was a lot more than that. But still, it is also well worth the trip.
The south of Spain just has a certain feeling about it. And a definite heat, even in late May!
Definitely want to head back there one day.
