Hike to Alhambra

I made the ardous hike up to the Alhambra not just once, but twice. First at 8am in the morning to purchase a ticket, then at 2pm in the scorching heat, the time I was allowed to enter the site. This was the first time during this trip that I paid to visit a tourist attraction and by the time I arrived, I was ready to chill in the shade and have a nap (just like many others).
