    While I was a student in Med school in sevilla our favorite escape especially in the winter
    Was to Granada
    We stayed one Christmas on the mountain
    And my boy who was three at the Time with his sister experienced snow for the first time
    Amazingly my son remembers that outing
    The Alhambra gardens are really phenomenal !
    It was the best time of my life

    What a lovely place! Love the town square and the architecture of the buildings! But we love the spice and oil store. It looks so complete. All natural ingredients. Thanks for sharing this. My girls said it's like you were transported in a the old times. More blessings to you all!

      That’s exactly how we feel sometimes, transported back in time. Yeah that natural store was amazing! I’ve never seen a selection of open herbs and teas like that.

    Hi there, we've been enjoying watching your video, especially as we film 4k natural sight and sound walks and have just filmed Granada too, so it's lovely to see someone doing something similar but from another viewpoint. Thank you for taking the time to add your video and for making Granada - one of our favourite cities look so beautiful.

    I went here in December 2015. I read afterwards that the Alhambra was designed to be seen at night and that the night visit is superior to a day visit. Next time I go I'll book a ticket for the night tour instead.
    Another place of interest in Granada is the former home of Spain's most famous poet, Federico Garcia Lorca, which is just on the edge of town.

      Thanks for your comment. Wow the Palace! That's sounds amazing. You'll have to let us know...

    y cuenta la leyenda, que había un ciego pidiendo limosna en las calles de Granada y una mujer le recrimino tal conducta, entonces su esposo le dijo: "mujer no sea así con ese pobre ciego, pues no hay mayor desgracia que ser ciego y vivir en Granada¡¡". Este es el clásico comentario que se suele hacer para describir la belleza de Granada....

    Los españoles cuidamos y conservamos nuestro patrimonio cultural ibero, romano, judio, islámico y cristiano.La Alhambra de Granada fue protegida del saqueo y destrucción del ejército francés en época de Napoleón. Lástima que la Biblioteca de Córdoba fue incendiada, destruida por los almohades con 40000libros únicos y comparada en su época con la Biblioteca de Alejandria. Saludos 🇪🇦.

    You guys make such gorgeous, amazing videos. Love your style to bits. Keep it up.
    So, just a quick clarification on the history of Spain as related to the moorish occupation.
    They didn’t actually reign for 800 years as popular belief would have it.
    They did enter in 700s after actually having been invited (hired) by one of the two warring kingdoms at the time to fight along with them. After that, they decided to have a go at conquering the entire peninsula and made it all the way up to southern France. However, what’s todays northern Spain was never occupied.
    But as quick as they were to occupy territories they were also very quick to be kicked out of most of it in the following 200 years. Then by the year 1000 or so they were present mostly in Southern Spain and Portugal (Califato de Córdoba y el de Granada), and very quickly as well, around the year 1100, the remaining Califatos were reduced in size greatly and became pretty much vassal states to the kingdoms of Castilla and Aragón. And these califatos were pretty much allowed to stay because it was the only way to continue trading with the Muslim states of the near and Middle East. But they were vassal states. They paid contributions to the Spanish kingdoms of the time called Taifas. They were even required to lend troops to help their respective master kingdoms in times of war.
    Then, by the 1300s or so, when the Alhambra was built, Granada was the only and last Muslim kingdom left in the peninsula, and it was still a vassal state, until queen Isabel II (the same one that financed Columbus’ first expedition) decided it was time to take over the whole of the peninsula and take Granada. This was in 1492, just a few months prior to Columbus arriving to what would later be America.
    I’m Spanish and a history buff, so just thought I’d say my piece :)
    Again, love your videos and your style.
    Much love!

    I'm from the U.K. I love peanut butter and jam but not together. I've just had blackcurrant jam on toast for my dinner.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders

      Aw it's the best! 😋 Have you ever tried cheese with your jam that's yummy too.

    Peanut butter and jelly!, YES! I still fix that sandwich for myself and microwave for 20-25 sec., cut it in quarters and eat it with a fork, cause I make 'em really thick. My mom would make 'em for Saturday picnic outings in the yard or woods.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders
      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  6 років тому +1

      Yes they did live there at one point. You’re going to love your visit to Granada!

    • @robert111k
      @robert111k 6 років тому +2

      They lived everywhere in Castile and Aragon, since there wasn't a capital city but an itinerant court at that time, but they chose to be buried in Granada.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders
      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  6 років тому

      Cool! I didn’t know that.

  • @sandrabrown6326
    @sandrabrown6326 6 років тому

    I would so love to have been in that store with all the natural herbs and spices. Do you remember what you bought? If so what and did it work??

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders
      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  6 років тому

      Ah...off the top of my head no. The tea was very strange in taste but apparently super healthy. 😂😂 Then I bought massage oil with hemp in it.

    • @suisixify
      @suisixify 6 років тому

      Growing Up Without Borders when I move back to paris! Your videos are helpful especially the europe ones, helps us decide what places to eliminate and where to go for our planned trips! You guys inspire me when I get to have kids in the near future, I want to be able to travel too most of the time and inspire them to be free thinkers and open minded hopefully about anything and everything! Keep the videos coming. We're here to support you guys.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders
      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  6 років тому

      Ah that's nice of you to say. We really appreciate the feedback and encouragement. You can get to so many places in such a short time from Paris. Soon we'll be posting more videos from a 2 hour radius of Paris so you can discover more hidden gems in Europe.

    it must have taken many men many years to build the Alhambra. How cold was it? You relate so well with your girls. You may have wished for a boy or two, but I just can't imagine you with a boy. I don't think a boy would enjoy sightseeing as much as a girl would. I guess Tyler would have liked a boy too, but I am sure he is happy with his beautiful girls.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders
      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  3 роки тому

      Well if we would have had a boy then they could have enjoyed taking thousands of pictures with Tyler. I don’t remember how cold it was but I’m sure it wasn’t that bad.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders
      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  3 роки тому +1

      If we had visited for a week we would completely agree with you! In this case we had lived there nearly two years so a little peanut butter now and then was a reminder of life in North America :-)
