It was very close to Sacromonte at the bottom of the hill, a stone's throw from Plaza Nueva in a club called Upsetter, just a tiny hole in the wall place. Indeed, Granada was an amazing place. I stayed there for two weeks. A frined of mine was taking flamenco dancing lessons and I was there snapping. We shared an apartment in Sacromonte/Albycin on top of a hill that was level with the Al Hambra...it was magical, and cheap too! --- Laurenz Bobke <laurenzb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Trevor, > > must have been an incredible atmosphere!
