Tangier to Grenada

The fast ferry from Tangier to Spain is just 40 minutes. A bus at the port of Tarifa transfers passengers to Algerciros but you need to be quick as the driver doesnt wait around. It's a slow train from the tiny station to Grenada.
Residents of Grenada really have life sussed. Every age group is out and about to the small hours, including babies in pushchairs & toddlers playing with each other. There are small tapas bars everywhere & a drink always brings a small plate of something tasty.
The inter-generational pattern of life really bring order & respect so at 1.30 in the morning, after a night partying - there's not a drunk to be seen, or heard. Sadly in the UK the streets would be filled with noisy drunks accompanied with a few fights & plenty of vomit. A sad contrast of cultures

But the Easter Palm Sunday street celebrations look very much like a Ku Klux Klan procession!
