14- Andalusia Illusions ..

Palace of Charles V in Alhambra - Granada

The spectacular Granada with its Alhambra Palace and attached romantic gardens "Genera-life", with diversity of flowers, plants and fountains. The decoration is austere and simple.

Also a part of this park "Alameda de la Alhambra", which is overgrown with wild flowers and grass in the spring, was planted by the Moors with roses, oranges and myrtles.

Just imagine in the Court of Myrtles or in the Court of the Lions, the Caliphate sitting on his throne next to him his Wazir "Minister" and Notables listening to the Andalusian music and poetry songs.

Like an illusion you can see in one side right or left the musicians with their instruments: lute (oud), rebec (rabab), goblet drums (darbouka), tambourin (twarija), qanun (zither), naker (naquarah) and mizmar (nay).

Beautiful compositions from the Andalusia land were played to the Caliphate with singer's rhythms the poems and in the middle of the Court hall beautiful ladies dancers move on each melody until the Caliphate from his joy drops himself in the water from his happiness to such a relaxing time.
