Granada is a gorgeous colonial city that’s just too photogenic for its own good. Sweet pastel colours and delightfully manicured gardens are everywhere you look.

The cathedral was my one true love.

I have pictures of it from pretty much every possible angle: from the top of the bell tower of Iglesia La Merced, where you can see the cathedral popping out from a sea of terracotta rooftops and palm trees to stand below it in the town square gazing up at its burnt yellow beauty, or gazing out from the top of the cathedral itself, beholding its smooth earthen domes across to the blue skies and volcanoes beyond.
