Coucher de soleil sur le complexe palatial Alhambra, Grenade, Andalousie, Espagne. Une vue à partir de la Plaza Mirador San Nicolas. Cette place est perchée sur l'un des points les plus élevés de l'Albaicín, l'ancien quartier maure de Grenade.
Ce point de vue bien connu offre une vue panoramique sur la ville, le magnifique palais-forteresse de l'Alhambra, la Vega de Granada (Prairies de Grenade) et les sommets enneigés de la chaîne de montagnes de la Sierra Nevada. Le résultat est particulièrement spectaculaire au coucher du soleil lorsque celui-ci plonge sous les montagnes et que l'Alhambra est illuminée d'une lumière dorée sur la colline d'al-Sabika.
L'Alhambra, nom signifiant « La Rouge » en arabe à cause de la couleur rougeâtre des pierres, est un ensemble palatial constituant l'un des monuments majeurs de l'architecture islamique. Acropole médiévale la plus majestueuse du monde méditerranéen, située sur le plateau de la Sabika qui domine la ville, elle se compose essentiellement de quatre parties incluses dans son enceinte fortifiée : l'Alcazaba, les palais nasrides, le Généralife, ses jardins, et le palais de Charles Quint.
Grenade est la capitale de la province de Grenade au sud-est de l'Andalousie. Elle s'étend sur plusieurs collines au pied de la Sierra Nevada, au confluent de trois rivières, le Beiro, le Darro et le Genil. Dès l'Antiquité, la ville connaît la culture ibère puis les Carthaginois et les Romains. La conquête de la région par la dynastie des Zirides au 11e siècle marque le début du royaume de Grenade, période au cours de laquelle plusieurs dynasties musulmanes se succèdent. En 1492, les Rois catholiques conquièrent la ville et l'intègrent à la couronne de Castille en tant que royaume catholique. Des persécutions s'ensuivent envers les juifs puis les musulmans, même les convertis (morisques).
Haut lieu culturel et touristique, Grenade abrite notamment le célèbre palais de l’Alhambra, un chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture hispano-arabe avec les merveilleux jardins du Generalife qui sont inscrits depuis 1994 au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO (WHL-314bis) avec le quartier résidentiel de l'Albaicin qui conserve un riche ensemble d'architecture vernaculaire maure dans laquelle l'architecture andalouse traditionnelle se fond harmonieusement.
El parque natural de las Hoces del Río Duratón es un paraje protegido que comprende el entorno de las hoces que este río tiene en su tramo medio. Estas son el cañón que el Duratón, afluente del río Duero, ha excavado en una zona de roca caliza entre las localidades de Sepúlveda y Burgomillodo, al noreste de la provincia de Segovia.

The Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola. It is 3.8 km long, and 30 to 90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters.
The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice. The noble Venetian families faced huge expenses to show off their richness in suitable palazzos; this contest reveals the citizens’ pride and the deep bond with the lagoon.
Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the recent, controversial Ponte della Costituzione, designed by Santiago Calatrava, connecting the train station to Piazzale Roma, one of the few places in Venice where buses and cars can enter. As was usual in the past, people can still take a ferry ride across the canal at several points by standing up on the deck of a simple gondola called a traghetto, although this service is less common than even a decade ago.
Most of the palaces emerge from water without pavement. Consequently, one can only tour past the fronts of the buildings on the grand canal by boat.

I saw this bird in Colombia and its one of the few birds that I also saw in Costa Rica. I was surprised how little overlap there was.
