Mi Barrio

My homestay family lives in the perfect area for me! They stay nearby the Federico Garcia Lorca parque.  I love to go running here and also embrace the sun during the day, but especially the weekends.  The best time to go when people aren't there, and you would like to hear more of the environment is Sunday afternoon.  Many people at this time are usually eating with their family, but my homestay eats slightly earlier on Sunday. I love seeing all of the colors and the speciation of animals and insects in this park. I've seen so many lizards here! I attempted to take a photo of them, but they move too fast, and run away when a human presence is near.

Another place called the "Birambla" I've been to is in the plaza of the Alhambra, and this place had really good churros! My homestay padre fed me and his children churros with chocolate, and it was amazing! It's really close to my house too, so they make it a tradition to go out once a week.

It's a market that is very close to my house, and I go there all the time to get fruit and get my breakfast essentials. The market is really cheap, and it's very friendly, despite the fact that there is a slight language barrier with me speaking spanish not as fluent as the spanish people here, they're still very nice and understanding! It's one of my favorite market spots here in Granada!

Lastly, every morning I go to this bakery right in front of my house. I get 3 donuts or something with chocolate in it every morning before I go to class, especially if I didn't eat with my homestay family for breakfast (because they eat earlier than I wake up) The lady who works at this restaurant is very nice, and she probably knows that I am not fluent in the language yet. She tells me how to say it in spanish after I point at what I want, and I appreciate her for doing so.
