A walk through Realejo

Today I walked up the Cuesta de Gomerez, and down into the Realejo, the old Jewish quarter. The road up is very steep and lined with shops. At the top is a gate and the old city walls. As you approach the gate you hear a hum, and when you walk under the gate you realize it is the sound of water. The river is rushing downhill under your feet, so fast that the ground vibrates. Another grueling climb brings you to the top of the old Alhambra wall, and the top of the Realejo. It is a very pretty quarter, filled with white-washed buildings and winding steps. I stopped for lunch here - salad with grilled goat cheese, nuts and honey. Lots more cool graffiti, and I finally found that stupid iron!
