A famous andalousian artist says one day a sentence that will stay in memories : « I paint forms as I think, not as I see » As Pablo Picasso, I will paint my feeling but not in a canvas , in that texte.

In the first place, before going to this monument, we had to wait for long times ... While that, I was thinking. This place was for me mysterious, I had a very little knowledge of the subject, I don't really know what is it and I have seen it only on a ridiculous picture in black and white. In addition, I knew that the visit will last for all the day but in the other hands, I was very intrigued by this place that is told majestic. It is for that I was confused between the feeling of descoverd a new place and the fatigue. Then I was walking over the head of a fresh drink distributor, and instinctievly I pressed on a button and surprised, a bottle fell ! After that, I thougt that this day will be great between the sun and the lucky.

My Sunglasses posed on my nose and my hat put over my head, I walked in a road between two rows of big trees. I said to myself that the Alhambra, the « World Heritage Site » was only a basic parc ... But when the road ended, I was able only to admire the pantagruelian beauty of the landscape, the luxurious garden decorated with flowers,foutains, orange tree surrounded by giant tree. The sight of these garden was sublime, between the alcazar, the vegetation and the city of Grenada.

« And I think to myself ... what a wonderful world» ( Louis Armstrong)

That is what I was thinking, but with « city » as « world » .

After that, we visited the Palace of Charles V. The outside of the building was funny, and in the inside, there were looking at a circus, like in the roman game with gladiators. We were able to relax a little with a race with my friends. ( I win fo course )

After

Then we walked on the top of the Alhambra I believe it because we overhung all the city.There was little wing, the weither was very pleasant and I was captivate by this landscape and an indescriptable sensation to be good, mentally and physically.

After all, we enter in the famous Nasrids Palace. With the explications of Ms. Legras, I was able to learn this place a lot which I didn't know well. Mysteriously I wasn't fascinated as much as the outside, despite the geometrical architecture was original but I did not really feel attraction.

To conclude, the visit of Alhamba was a very enriching experience personnel. Culturally, I was able to open my knowledge on a stranger civilization, a religion and architecture. But also omorality, I keep a very big memory, to be in a wonderful place, with the sun, in a foreign contry...
