Why carrying the camera just in case is a good thing. After an impulse trip to a tetería in the Albaycín, where I had a pot of chai and finished reading Rebecca Solnit’s “A Field Guide to Getting Lost,” I happened to pass by the Mirador San Nicolás, Granada’s most popular spot to view both the Alhambra and the sunset, at just the right moment. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the tea shop’s bathroom was out of order and I desperately needed a place to go (i.e., the public library by San Nicolás), I would’ve headed in the opposite direction and never seen this spectacular sunset.
