ORIGINAL: Estevan Kate, does this mean that Granada has an unusually high proportion of - how shall I say - unpleasant people? Please explain for us foreigners. Well I think Anders answered this very well, Granada has a reputation for 'grumpiness' there has even been books written about it but that's not to say elsewhere everyone is sweetness and light. Maybe its to do with the cold winters, distrust of outsiders that isolated places have (no excuse now of course with modern roads, planes etc. as Granada is more cosmopolitan with foreign students), maybe also the fascist tendencies among the middle classes. Granada the town that murdered its poet. When I first came here I was told a joke about Granada. When God created Granada he gave it running water from beautiful mountains, vast valleys of fertile land, a beautiful fairy tale palace overlooking the city. Jesus looks at it and says, but father you have created a paradise on earth and God replies " Yes my son but you've not met the people yet ". So its a bit of a running joke but Anders is right there are people with bad attitudes everywhere and I have to say that all my friends in Granada are warm hearted, fun loving and open people. Which is not to say they cant have a bad day [;)] Kate
