Walking Tour Granada - Part II

Next stop, the cemetery.  You might be thinking “why would you visit the cemetery?”  Well on our way into town we had caught a glimpse of it - amazing!  Not only is the cemetery itself huge, but the gravesights are elaborate, statutes of saints, virgin mary, and more.

Some families have huge tombs just waiting for family members to join one another on the other side  There were rows and rows of these - we wondered how much they cost - they were works of art.

But as moved further back in to the “low-rent” district you found simple crosses marking a gravesight. I guess the distinction between the haves and have nots follows you in the afterlife.














On the way back into town we stopped near the Plaza de Independencia. Classes for the day must have just ended as the school kids were filling the streets, on their way home or just hanging out with their friends.  This group was clustered around the monument obelisk which is dedicated to the hereos of the 1821 struggle for independence.
