Re-fueling, re-filling, refreshing....

When you've got friends coming to visit,
you must make plans so that they will enjoy their stay

You need to find fresh ideas
so that in the end
they say : actually Granada is....nice !

I emailed my friend Yolanda today
How about a little splash in the Arab bath ?
Her answer was quick
Ah oui !

I can't guarantee we'll meet a lot of dashing Spanish men
while bathing our feet and talk talk talk

but at least, I'm sure we'll have fun



I can't guarantee the ambiance will be something like that either

it's just a hammam....you know!

And you sweet blogging friends, would you like it ?

What a beautiful castle you have! I'm so happy to see there are other "Spanish" speaking ladies in blogland with the same passion as me for home interior and everything is home.... when I started my blog I decided to do it in English because I didn't find any other blog like mine in Spanish..... Now, here you are!

It's so nice meeting you. Regresa pronto a mi casa entre las rosas....te invito a una limonada en mi jardin... :)

Ooh turkish baths, I have been to some. I don't know if the ones in Granada will be as hardcore as the ones we have here in Turkey. The ones I've been to were very, VERY hot(I had to wait outside or splash myself with cold water to resist, but that was just me). It's a very original idea to take your friends there! But make sure your friends aren't very sensitive to heat, we have a saying in Turkish: "like a woman fainting in the hammam"... I have heard that in the old times, a man's mother and sisters used to choose bride-candidates in the hammam. So maybe you won't meet the Spanish men, but you may meet their mothers instead :)

ps: thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your lovely comment...
