[Day-5] Garnada's Day & Night : Grand Cathedral, Cheesecake, and Rain

[Day-5] The majestic Granada Cathedral
☕️ Starting the Day with a Cortado
I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror,
only to find my face completely puffy. 🫠
It’s the price I paid for that late-night ramen!
But hey, ramen is a must-have while traveling, right?

Needing a caffeine boost,
I headed straight to a cafe near my hostel.
I ordered a Cortado, a must-try in Spain! ☕

It was warm out, but drinking hot coffee felt
like the perfect "fight fire with fire" moment. 🤭

📮 A 'Hradcore'Mission at the Post Office
After refueling, I went to the post office
with my roommate who wanted to buy stamps.
Navigating the Spanish kiosk was
like playing a hardcore video game. 😵💫

Even with a translator, the language barrier was real!
Luckily, a kind local helped us out,
and we got the stamps safely.

🕍 The Majestic Granada Cathedral
You can’t miss the Granada Cathedral!
I booked my ticket online in advance
to save time and avoid the lines.

Always book your tickets in advance online
making the facade look even more stunning. ✨
Inside, the sheer scale was breathtaking! 😲

🧀 La tarta Cheese cake Review
Feeling a bit hungry, I headed to a famous
cheesecake spot called La Tarta. 🚶♀️
The walk was a struggle though!
Wearing my Adidas Sambas on the bumpy
cobblestone streets meant I felt
every single pebble under my feet. 🥲

The original cheesecake was good,
but since my expectations were so high,
it felt a bit ordinary—like something
I could taste back in Korea.
Still, the rich cheese flavor was lovely!

Cute packaging for the cheesecake.

☔️ Waiting for the Night View...then Rain
To see the city lights from an even higher point,
I headed up to the San Miguel Alto viewpoint.

Since I had plenty of time before sunset,
I stopped by a local shop on the way up
and had a quick beer. 🍺 lol

The sky was absolutely beautiful until early evening.
But as soon as the sun began to set,
dark clouds suddenly rolled in.

And then, out of nowhere,
it started pouring with heavy wind! 🌧️

Instead of a stunning night view,
I ended up soaked in the rain on my way down...
Such a sad ending. 😭

A pre-sunset beer that was the last happy moment before the rain...
🥩 A Perfect Spanish Dinner
After resting a bit at the hostel,
I went out for a late dinner. 😋
Note that in Spain, people usually
eat dinner very late—around 9 or 10 PM!

I had two glasses of wine, some salty Jamon,
and a meat dish that tasted like Korean Galbi.
The highlight was a cool red gadget
used to hold the Jamon plate! 😄

The unique red holder for the Jamon plate.

Premium Joselito Jamón Ibérico paired with a glass of rich red wine. 🍷

A succulent pork steak with caramelized onions, reminiscent of Korean Galbi flavors. 🥘
🇰🇷 A Surprise at the Hostel
hen I got back to the hostel,
drenched from the rain, I met my new roommate.
When she said she was from "South Korea,"
I shouted, "Oh! Are you Korean!?" Hahahaha
We were so happy to meet each other
in such a far-off land. What a happy ending to my day! ✨
