Staying Warm

Granada is fast becoming quite chilly, as this past week has brought in a number of showers and cold air off the peaks of the Sierra Nevadas.

If your wardrobe and wallet are lacking substance, hop your chattering-toothed self to the string of used clothes (segundo-mano) stores next to the Facultad de Derecho. There you can probably locate a good warm jacket anywhere from about $12 to $35. Of course there are some lavish furs that will cost perhaps twice that, but then again it´s not $300-$400 we´re talking about.

Around the corner, as you head left down Escuelas street, there´s a store called Ropero, which has a bit more selection than the other back at the plaza, but it´s also a tiny bit pricier.

In any case, now you don´t have an excuse to not bundle up. Next article? Finding a dentist for all those broken once-chattering teeth? I hope not.
