Setelah lbh kurang sebulan booking dan merancang akhirnya sampai juga kami ke bumi Spain. Yang dahulunya merupakan salah satu daripada bumi anbiya' ku kira. Tapi skarang tidak lagi. Pemergian kami kali ini ala2 jejak rasul jugak la..(keh keh keh ) iaitu melawat tempat2 peninggalan Islam dahulu. itu yg syoknye..sbb pegi tpt2 lain sblm mcm Rome n Brugge..sangat banyak church. sini sana ada cross.
Sblm bercerita lebih lanjut, inginku ucapkan banyak2 terima kasih utk Kak Aida dan Abg Halim yang banyak meluangkan masa dan tenaga dan mcm2 ler termasuk mendahulukan duit mereka utk trip kami ini. dan thanks a lot juge utk perancangan yang menarik..dgn izin Allah semuanya berjalan lancar.

So pagi2 hari pertama, 6.3.2008 kami bertolak dari rumah ke East Midland Airport secara konvoi 3 buah kereta. Dalam hati suma berkobar2 nak pegi Spain.salah satunye kenapa.? sbb nak makan seafood.hahaha.. so kami bertolak dlm pukul 11 pagi.asalnya pukul 10.30 pg tapi org yg anak sorang tu lambat sangat..terlewat sikit.tp still dlm jadual lagi.spi kat airport kami solat jama' zuhur asar dulu, makan, dan kemudian check in..so masa tu kire ngam2 la.just nice! kami bertolak pukul 3.50ptg dan sampai 7.20mlm di airport Granada. masa tu dah gelap.waktu di Spain masa tu awl sejam dr waktu UK.
sampai kat sana kami disambut oleh George, iaitu tuan rumah yg akan kami sewa di Granada.org nye baik dan peramah dan sangat helpful. George org merupakan org Nottingham, UK tapi dia ada duduk kat Spain dah beberapa tahun. tapi still ulang alik Spain-UK..itu yg senangnya sbb dia blh cakap English. Selepas amik kereta sewa kami, George tunjuk jalan ke hotel Kak Zu and Abg Jo.derang booking asing sbb terlewat join kami. Lps tu dia bawak kami balik rumah yg bakal kami sewa. Lps explain itu ini kat kami..dia pon balik.dan kami pon memulakan aktiviti makan malam dan terus zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...utk perjalanan esoknya..

Quote:

The Alhambra (Arabic: الحمراء = Al-Ħamrā; literally "the red fortress") is a palace and fortress complex of the Moorish monarchs of Granada in southern Spain (known as Al-Andalus when the fortress was constructed), occupying a hilly terrace on the southeastern border of the city of Granada. 37°10′37″N 3°35′24″W / 37.17686, -3.589901 Once the residence of the Muslim kings of Granada and their court, the Alhambra is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions exhibiting the country's most famous Islamic architecture, together with Christian 16th century and later interventions in buildings and gardens that marked its image as it can be seen today. Within the Alhambra, the Palace of Charles V was erected by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1527. Coordinates: 37°10′36.81″N, 3°35′23.95″W

Istana ni sangat cantik dgn ukiran-ukiran ayat suci Al-Quran yang masih kekal. Kawasan istana ni sgt besar, termasuk garden dia skali. Oleh kerana semua kepenatan dan kelaparan, kami tak sempat pon masuk Generalife. Lagipun hari dah petang dan masing2 ksejukan.

The Palacio de Generalife (Arabic: Jannat al-'Arif - Architect's Garden) was the summer palace and country estate of the Nasrid sultans of Granada. The palace and gardens were built during the reign of Muhammad III (1302-1309) and redecorated shortly after by Abu I-Walid Isma'il (1313-1324). The complex consists of the Patio de la Acequia (Court of the Water Channel or Water-Garden Courtyard), which has a long pool framed by flowerbeds, fountains, colonnades and pavilions, and the Jardín de la Sultana (Sultana's Garden or Courtyard of the Cypress). The former is thought to best preserve the style of the medieval garden in Al-Andalus. Originally the palace was linked to the Alhambra by a covered walkway across the ravine that now divides them. The Generalife is one of the oldest surviving Moorish gardens.[1] The present-day gardens were started in 1931 and completed by Francisco Prieto Moreno in 1951. The walkways are paved in traditional Granadian style with a mosaic of pebbles: white ones from the River Darro and black ones from the River Genil.[2]
