The Alhambra

I ascend the last steps to the top of the Broken Tower, the tallest tower
in the Alhambra, and look left to the immense cluster of mountains called
the Sierra Nevada powdered with white and with an accompanying foreground
of brown. I really enjoyed the sights off of the top. One could see all
of the town streching out below, with white houses and tall church
towers. I would have made a really, really, tall tower in the middle for
a better view but the Broken Tower with the famous bell was still pretty
tall. The mountains looked intriguing.

I couldn't find the tower in which the maidens of the Alhambra lived in
Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving. But the fortress still holds
up to the comments other wise. One other thing that I really liked is
towers. The towers followed almost the exact pattern one would think of
as a medeival castle. Also the towers were spaced excellently and were
just the right hight when looked at from a distance. My favorite was the
Broken Tower because it was the tallest and was at the point of the
castle since the fortresses shape is like boat. Broken Tower gave a
tremendous view of the surrounding area. Mom says the Alhambra is famous
for its gardens, terraces, Almodahar architecture, and all its fountains.
It was a lttile hard to take it all in. She is writing about that. For
me, I liked the tower and the views best.
