The Moorish tearoom which almost could
One day, I will have to count the number of Moorish tearooms which exist in Granada. We were quite happy to find this new one hidden in the labyrinth of narrow streets in the Albayzin district.
When we pushed the door open, the owner quickly set up to clean the tables and mop the floor. Well...obviously he wasn't expected anyone before 6pm maybe.He made us choose a seat but then I discovered the lovely terrace and told him it would be nice to sit outside. He looked very sad and apologetically said lo siento tanto pero ya no podemos usar la terraza porque es una terraza comun entre vecinos y a ellos no le gusta la idea - I'm so sorry, we can't use the terrace anymore because we share it with the neighbors and they don't like the idea of having tables outside.
oh well....so we stayed inside...I never tried one of these. I think they look quite decorativepics : me

Andalucia never fails to lure me with its endless charms!
Greetings from London.
I use to smoke it back in Cairo especially after a good meal or with tea and mint. Not any more as I quit smoking five years ago. I like the Moroccan Cafe and their tea. We have similar Cafe in Egypt in the Old Cairo (Khan El Khalili).

Lovely pictures!
Next time I go I will search those tea houses, definately.
Those pipes are very decorative!!! I love them and would like to have a few to spread around my living room!
Enjoy the springtime!
Beautiful photos!
Just be careful what you put in your water pipe!

too bad about the outdoor terrace...
Just in case yo wander around the Albaicín again, just try if you are allowed to have a look at the wonderful "Carmen de la Victoria", which is in the Cuesta del Chapíz", opposite the Casa dle Chapiz. It belongs to the University, but perhaps you are lucky and can enjoy its garden and know what a "Carmen" is.
I lived there for 3 years and the views are overwhelming.
