Since we are on Granada's coast, let's make a short excursion up the mountains to Granada. Here are a few pictures of Granada from above..JPG)

I have to admit that the clean, color unified (predominantly white walls, red roofs) Granada - and other Spanish towns and villages - appeal to me a LOT more than the assault of exaggerated forms and colors of Puerto Rico. (Of course it is likely due to my European cultural conditioning, but I can't help it. I DO try to enjoy visual cacophony to be more open minded... and I got this far that I intellectually understand it...but am still unable to emotionally appreciate it. )

Spanish towns and villages appear elegant, Puerto Rican appear visually cacophonic.
So let's enjoy the views of Granada, when we can.

Haha... cacophony is a great word to describe Puerto Rico. Especially since the "gangster" hip-hop kids are known as cacos, from that word.
Nice pictures, by the way. Not just today's but your last few entries have all had beautiful photos.
Lucky me, I did not know about cacos - not in the habit of listening to hip hop - if i can avoid it.
Give me Chopin anytime (or Bach, or Vivaldi), hold hip hop and whatever noise pollution passes for music nowadays ( I am aging myself tremendously by posting this, lol). ;-)
Thanks for the compliment about my photos.
No, it's not so old. I grew up playing viola so classical music is fine with me. Although I am not a fan of Vivaldi, all his music is nearly the same thing. Ugh.
You don't have to listen to hip-hop though to identify cacos... they're everywhere. ;)
lol, that's why I probably can not always avoid hearing them.
