From the 12 to the 14 of December a group of friends of Lux Mundi, Torre del Mar, embarked on a three day excursion to Granada to see the Christmas lights and sights of this beautiful city.
They first took a trip to Sierra Nevada, where it had snowed heavily the previous day and the roads had been closed. On the way up the scenery was glorious with the sun glinting on the snow covered mountains and icicles hanging from the trees. When the coach arrived there was time to walk around, have a coffee and watch the skiers on the slopes. Some people took a lift up to the top to take in the fabulous view.
After a couple of hours the coach then took the group to the lovely hotel Carmen in the centre of Granada where they stayed for two nights. The weather was glorious with the bluest of skies, although it was rather chilly, and there was so much to do and see. Some people took the opportunity to visit the Alhambra Palace, others took the tourist train, jumping on and off at different points of interest, including the Cathedral, San Nicolas view point, the basilica of San Juan de Dios and Sacramonte and some went shopping in the Sierra Nevada shopping centre. The Christmas lights were beautiful and this year there was also the addition of a 6 metre high Father Christmas in the local square. On the Thursday afternoon the group returned back to Torre del Mar and all agreed that it had been a really enjoyable trip having been blessed with excellent weather, a great hotel and wonderful company.
Lux Mundi would like to thank all who supported this excursion, which enables them to continue with their charitable work and we hope to see you all at future events in the Centre and excursions.
