We really liked this spot amongst some orange and lemon trees and clearly we looked at home here, as when we went to get up after our photo, lots of people begged us to stay where we were so they could take a picture of us too. We were flattered to be so much in demand.
For those of our readers who aren't too wordly wise, it's important to know how to pronounce General Life. You need to call the gardens 'Heneral Leafay' and then you will sound like a local, not a tourist.
The main attraction of the gardens for us, was all the lovely water features. Even though it was only March, it was hot enough for us to be glad of the cooling effect of the rising and falling water. We took lots of photos to show gardening bear Tommy, in the hope that he can emulate some of these features in the gardens of the bear cave.
As we strolled along the colonnades beside the water troughs, we could look out, through the arches, at the buildings of the main part of the Alhambra ...
It was all quite simply, idyllic and we were sad to leave this wonderful place. Although it receives thousands of visitors, we were still able to enjoy some peace and tranquility and it didn't feel too touristy.
Hopefully, one day we'll return.
Lots of love George, Yorkie, Pedro and Gio xxx

It does look rather lovely says Suffolk Branch - orange and lemon trees always make you feel properly on holiday, and bet the running water was nice to cool your paws in. Will be good to see what inspirations Tommy can incorporate!
