Granada Greeting Card

The Moorish heritage of Spain is felt throughout the cobbled streets that wind their way around Granada. From the ancient Moorish quarter of Albaicin, to the Arab Spice Market, magnificent Alhambra Palace and the enchanting Arab Baths, Granada's link to North Africa runs through the city as does the Rio Genil. The influence of gypsy culture is also heard throughout the city's many tapas bars, through the wonderful guitar music and compelling flamenco dance, both of which feature in my illustration of Granada. The poet Garcia Lorca looks over the city and I remember visiting his memorial on the hills above Granada many years ago. Spain's first Catholic monarchs: King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I, greet each other in my portrait of Granada, both being buried in the city's gothic cathedral. I love Spain and adore the food and culture of city's such as Granada. A glass of Jerez and a few bowls of tapas will make me very happy and so I have to included them in my illustration of gorgeous Granada. :-)
