Meeting
Granada
October 2016
Granada
Granada is located in the southeast of
Spain right at the Sierra Nevada mountain
range.
Moorish heritage - Granada is the essence
of poetry. Federico Garcia Lorca, the
universal Granada writer, immortalised his
city in his art. Once visited, it is not
difficult to understand the well-known
verse, which reads: "There is nothing like
the pain of being blind in Granada".
This fabulous city preserves all the
enchantment and mystery of eight
centuries of Moorish occupation, which
lasted until the re-conquest by Catholic
Kings in 1492.
The Alhambra, a castle complex of
worldwide fame, they say it's the eight'
miracle of the world!

Dating back to the XIV Century and
carefully restored it offers a warm abience
and from the terrace you have a beautiful
view to the Alhambra.
Afterwards night visit to
Alhambra
The Alhambra was originally constructed as
a small fortress in 889 and then largely
ignored until its ruins were renovated and
rebuilt in the mid-11th century by the
Moorish emir of the Emirate of Granada,
who built its current palace and walls.
It was converted into a royal palace in
1333 by the Sultan of Granada. Alhambra
was extended by the different Muslim
rulers who lived in the complex. However,
each new section that was added followed
the consistent theme of "paradise on
earth".
Column arcades, fountains with running
water, and reflecting pools were used to
add to the aesthetic and functional
complexity.
Especially at night you feel like in a tale!
Last night welfare dinner at
Pavellón de las Artes
The place on its own is an artistic
structure of art, surrounded by a spacious
terrace offering splendid views to the
city.
The final touch gives the 10 m high
sculpture “The Human Arc“.
The Pavellon of the Arts is a unique
architectonical creation of the world reknowned sculturist.
Entertainment during the welcome cocktail on
the terrace: a Venenciador (sherry pourer) and
Cortador (Ham cutter)
During dinner we have Flamenco Andaluz with
dancers moving in between tables to allow
everyone a good and close look.
After dinner we have our DJ and dance.
And the Molecular Experience! Cocktails served
in the form of pearls.
An unforgettable experience!
