• South from Granada
• When you look south from Granada across the red towers of the Alhambra, you see a mountain range known as Sierra Nevada. There is snow on the high peaks all year round.
• Forget the Alhambra for a moment and consider onlythe mountains. They are high enough to have small glaciers.On the other side, you will come to broad, hollow country, with broken terrain, separated from the sea by a coastal range.It is in this country that I came to live.
