All over Granada, you see this all over the town. Chris noticed it, and explained to us, this must be Arab poppy plant symbol (you crack the poppy open as dipicted, sap comes out, which then converted to heroin or morphine)
When we came back, we asked our friendly front desk woman, Kathy (from Iowa, living here for the last 25 years...) why there are so many Poppies symbols in town. She looked at us puzzled, and said, "you mean Granada? Pomegranate??"
It turned out, what Chris explained to us as the source of addictive drugs....simply is pomegranate...which is Granada. Now that made sense to me....because we saw a lot of pomegranate in the royal museum earlier....Queen Isabelle's silver crown was ringed with pomegranate.
Thanks to Kathy, Karina will not be telling her friends at school ....that Granada was filled with drug symbols!
