Mario’s History Lesson From the 1500's

    Abdallah Tours is on Calle Calzada. They offer tours at the same price most other tour companies do but having an English speaking guide is always desirable. Mario, our guide for the Granada Islands tour, knows his subjects and studies while we sight see. Enroute, he tells us about an old Spanish Fort that protected Granada from pirates and invaders, protected cargo going back to Spain in the 1500’s when Spain was not part of a European Union and had its own colonization programs in the New World. This fort is a relic in a new world knotted together like a family of bickering kids. It has value as an example of old history abandoned by the side of the road as new history marches past.
