aka The Flintstones! They were featured on google.es today. I love their name in Spanish. Also, I've discovered that the verb "pica" has a wide variety of meanings. A mosquito "pica"s your arm, when something is too spicy and burns your mouth it's a "pica", it can also mean an itch, and according to the Picapiedras, it also means "flint" or "pick". For a fully detailed explanation click on Picar.
Also, finding a pre-paid phone or SIM card is much more difficult than one would think. At least, if one wants to walk around for two hours searching for the best deal, that is. But with the persistant help of our fantastic host mom Ana, we did indeed find it. A €19 basic model phone and prepaid tarjeta for me and a €9 tarjeta de SIM for my compañera from the mobile phone company Orange, which actually has companies all over the world! ¡Vale! (Mi móvil came with a bonus game of Jewel Quest!!! ¡Qué ganga!)
To end this post (which is llena de links) is a brief walk up a very steep hill and around the Alhambra. Can you even imagine how amazing it would be to live 15 mintues from this historic and magical fortress or to even be able to see it out of one of your windows? I would hope the wonder never fades.
(Pictures will be posted later due to them not uploading to this blog) =(
