Free Things to Do in Spain

It’s fairly common knowledge that flamingos get their famous pink colour due to eating a large amount of pink shrimp. However have you ever wondered how the shrimp themselves become pink?

Secreted away on the outskirts of the city, hidden amongst the groves and winding river of farmland lies a hidden gem that I have dubbed ‘Granada’s Lost Palace.’

Here is a girl who is sharing her misery in hopes of having it changed into an uplifting spirit. But no such comfort comes, not from the trees nor the eyes nor the laughing bird.
