El Ultimo Suspiro Del Moro

Had a very lazy day, slept in my igloo on the terrace for most of it. Need to recharge my batteries to be ready for Three Kings.

Factoid: On January 2, 1492, King Boabdil surrendered Granada to the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel of Castile and Fernando of Aragón. It signalled the end of nearly 800 years of Moorish civilisation in Spain.

Boabdil reined in his horse and surveying for the last time the Alhambra and the green valley that spread below he burst into tears. "You do well," said his unsympathetic mother, "to weep like a woman for what you could not defend like a man." The spot from which Boabdil looked for the last time on Granada is still shown, and is known as "the last sigh of the Moor" (el último suspiro del Moro).
