Luckily, I was with my family and never felt worried about getting lost.
Granada's weather was a bit colder than Madrid's, possibly due to the Sierra Nevada mountains above Granada, which are snow moutains perfect for skiing and snow activities! The Sierra Nevada mountains were visible from my cousins home in Granada and so full of snow. Granada had a few loud thunderstorms along with lightning that lasted for a few hours. Being in Granada felt like being in the countryside of Spain, beautiful and scenic with the rich culture of historical monuments and Spansh roots everywhere! I asked my cousins' children if they wanted to move eventually to the big city of Madrid, and they said they love Granada and have everything they need there! There was a huge shopping mall, lots of restaurants and cafes, and huge spaces where you can be active and play soccer.
Spain is one of the world's largest exporters of olive oil, and in Granada I was able to see a farm with rows and rows of olive trees! Outside Granada, there is more space to plant crops. Granada was different than Madrid residentially as well. In Madrid, a lot of people live in apartment buildings, but on the bus ride to Granada, I saw many beautiful huge houses, something I have not yet seen yet in Madrid.
I had a really special trip visiting this city and seeing my cousins, too!
