Church of San Justo y Pastor
I found quite beautiful the church of San Justo y Pastor in Universidad street of Granada
Corral del Carbón
Courtyard of Corral del Carbón in Granada, which served as inn for merchants, as warehouse and as a market
Alcaicería
Near the Corral del Carbon we entered the Alcaicería, where silk were sold. I liked the colourful look of this popular market in Granada
Bib-Rambla Square
In this square, called Bib-Rambla square, we finished this amusing tour around the old quarter of Granada. This tour really pleased us, so we repeated two days after in the Albaicín
Cathedral
Going from Bib-rambla square to the restaurant we went past the Cathedral of Granada and I couldn't help taking one more picture

Sacromonte
After having lunch we went to the Sacromonte. At six o'clock the temperature was high (35º more or less). The bus left us in the Abadia of Sacromonte but it was already closed. We walk down for 20min and we reached the Museum of Caves in Sacromonte
Museum of Caves in Sacromonte
We had to go upstairs for 5min and it was a bit hard because of the heat. But it was worth because the museum of Caves in Sacromonte is quite interesting
A vegetal garden links all the caves of the museum
Between the caves and the look-out point there is a small botanical garden
As well as La Alhambra we could see the city of Granada from this viewpoint of Sacromonte
Going from the museum to the Albaicín we couldn't help taking more pictures of La Alhambra
