Sevilla & Granada through architecture, streets, and memory Al-Andalus began in 711 CE with the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula and lasted until 1492 CE. Sevilla shows how Moorish structures were absorbed into later Christian rule, while Granada preserves the last intact Islamic urban and architectural system in Spain, ending with the fall of the Nasrid Kingdom.

So here’s how this little story goes. While I was staying at ROKU KYOTO, LXR , every time I ordered tea at the restaurant, it was served in these super cute little round ceramic cups. I kept noticing them, thinking how interesting they looked, and by the end of my stay I was kind of obsessed. On my last morning, right before heading to the train station, I finally asked the concierge if he knew where the cups came from. He went around asking (not sure who exactly), and after

With so much to see, it can be overwhelming to decide where to start. So instead of listing places randomly, I’ve broken the city down into easy-to-explore areas  that naturally fit together.
