My roommate, Kelsey, has a few friends visiting this weekend, so we decided to play tourist for the day. We started off with a visit to Plaza de Espana; built for the 1929 World's Fair, it consists of a semi-circle structure surrounding a large court yard, moat and fountain. Tiled murals representing each province in Spain run the length of the structure and of course I had to stop and take a photo in front of Granada.
We then took a walk through Parque de María Luisa, a "Central Park-esque" local full of bikers, joggers, strollers, vendors and horse drawn carriages. The primary goal of our visit was to feed the pigeons that normally flock in one of the plazas, but the park was busy today and the birds were sadly seeking refuge amongst the tree tops. The birds might not have been hungry, but the same couldn't be said for us, so we left the park and headed across town to the Plaza de la Alfalfa for some pizza
