Here I'm in charming Granada
Shaded by palm trees
Drinking sangaria
You're stuck in Devon
What awful pictures shown on the news
Of the crowded Bournemouth beach
It must be frightening
Now that Boris has eased restrictions
Saw this nice post card
Of the heavenly Alhambra
And thought of you
Don't you wish
That you were here
John
Thank you for for sharing you experiences of Granada.
I've fond memories of it. One never tires of Granada. During one visit I was invited into a cave dwellings outside the Alhambra. It was a hot day but ideal temperature inside.
Thank you for the like.
Abdul,
Your poem reminds me of the time I spent in Granada in 1994. There's a street the winds up to the Alhambra called Cuesta de Gomerez where I made friends with a man called Francisco who made flamenco guitars for important musicians. He used to sign me in as a guest at the exclusive members only flamenco club. Hope your visit was as rewarding as mine.

Thank you all for dropping in and adding your welcome thoughts on the post card from Spain.
The Moors adored Andalusia and left a rich legacy behind them that the Spanish love and preserve. They attract vast numbers of visitors from all over the world to come and admire them.
Receiving a post card is nostalgic.

Post card days...reminds me of long gone childhood. Emails n whatsapp are far easier n faster mode of interaction and yes, pictures come in handy as and when and where you want.
Boris like many others has eased the restrictions. Second wave is unavoidable. COVID 2 the series, i hope its just a farce to see.
Good one Abdul.
Fortunately, Devon is a lot further from London than Bournemouth.
And it's a good bet the majority of those gathering together like
bugs are from that particular place. But for some folk, it seems the lure of the sun can drive them to the borders of insanity - let alone
those of Hampshire and Dorset! ?
Abdul,
I do hope you are enjoying Andalusia. My partner is from Spain which I regard as my spiritual home.
