Boooooring day. I woke up late as my train was only leaving at 17. I walked to a monastery, but didn’t stay long. I went downtown, passed by the arena, a building too gorgeous for its murderous purpose. I ate and headed for the tram.

The Granada tram has a good portion of underground sections, and is actually referred to as the Granada Metro. This kind of system is called a light rail system: a tram with some characteristics of metros.

It bring me to a commercial center, but at 2 PM, it was obviously siesta o’clock, and it was deserted. I went to a park and laid down a couple of hours. If I had been smart, I would have gone to Sierra Nevada NP this morning, it’s really close to Granada…

Anyway, tram back to the station.

Finally, after the security check, I board the train to Sevilla. The landscape of Southern Spain is really unique in Europe. Rolling hills of dry ground on which were planted thousands of olive trees. That’s beautiful in its own way.

In Sevilla, I head straigh for the bus and the hostel. I am mentally exhausted by this endless day of boredom (even though I love Granada). I immediately eat dinner, take a shower and go to bed to sleep early, to get fresh for the last 10 d.

Well… I tried.
