Holy Week Processions in Granada, Part 1

I said in an earlier post that being a tourist with kids without a plan is a good way to end of cutting it short and going back to the hotel.  That is what the gang wanted to do.

 I dragged everyone back up the hill for our siesta that turned out to be really nice, and then back down to the main road where the crowds had gathered.

While we were waiting, we played ‘find 10 or more pomegranates.’  Granada is named for the pomegranate.  This is the plaza of the knifemakers.  Too bad that they are not still there.

Traffic pylon in the shape of a pomegranate.  Fringe boots in the background!  Gotta get me some of those.

A pottery store has taken the place of the knifemakers.

A utility pole.  Now that I think about it, that is the nicest way to cover wires at a city-wide scale that I have ever seen!

Even the sugar packet litter has a pomegranate.
