Route towards La PasallaBursting With Culture. A great place to live!!!!
My family is actually British and I have lived in Spain for five years. I moved to Granada in September 2004 from a town in Cádiz called El Puerto de Santa María. I was a little fed up with the small town atmosphere if you know what I mean. I am much happier in Granada where there is so much culture and art. Though when people ask me I always say I'm from Cádiz (though when I say this people look at me strangely because my Spanish is far from perfect).
For me home is always the last place I lived!
My favourite thing about Granada is that there are interesting people from all over Spain and the world here. I am learning so much about Africa, the Middle East and South America. The Grenadinos are also fantastic people (in general). I love the way they accept foreign cultures and want to explore the world. Some people in El Puerto thought that it was the best place in the world and didn't want to explore. I think that is a shame. Cádiz and Granada are both wonderful places, but the world is big and beautiful and different! You've got to get out there and see it! My fondest memory will always be of my first day in living in the Albaicin when a 7/8 year old boy came to my window and offered me a plate of free grapes his family had grown. He turned out to be my neighbour. The next time he saw me he ran up to me and hugged me. My other neighbours also ended up being unbelievably friendly too (including Petri the dog and Negri the cat!). They made me feel so welcome! I love living in a community!
