Spain - Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzín, Granada

Rising above the modern lower town, the Alhambra and the Albaycín, situated on two adjacent hills, form the medieval part of Granada. To the east of the Alhambra fortress and residence are the magnificent gardens of the Generalife, the former rural residence of the emirs who ruled this part of Spain in the 13th and 14th centuries. The residential district of the Albaycín is a rich repository of Moorish vernacular architecture, into which the traditional Andalusian architecture blends harmoniously.

Virdian's Sunday Stamps
Sometimes I like to join a Linky Party - more often on my creative Blog. But nevertheless this Sunday here on this Blog with Royals! And since i'm updating my UNESCO Blog and i break off with Spain yesterday Evening...
Here we go with Juan Carlos I.
I guess this was the first Royal i really noticed as a child. My PArents decided to Stay a Month on the Canary Island Gomera before all the kindergarden and School Years begun. So i guess this comes from licking the stamp then :)


 




oooo and another Royal I LOVE for making Collages is the Queen herself! f you have spare Queenheads in all different Color Variations - drop me a line!




Go and check other Royals today!

    I became so engrossed with Alhambra I nearly forgot to look at the stamps. I have quite several stamps with the head of Juan Carlos.

    I love the colours of the British Machin stamps. Great idea to make a collage of them. I wish I had more of them.
