This was named after one of my favorite teas in Granada. One of the hallmarks of Arabigo-andaluz artwork, poetry, and architecture is integration of ornate with naturalness. The building of the Alhambra is no exception to this. As opposed to the bold color clashes that you will find in Moroccan motifs, much of what you find in the Alhambra is very subtle and muted and relies on contrasts in darkness and light as opposed to differences in hue. Other than that, the contrasts are natural (like the pomegranate trees and bushes which adorn the place). One exception to this that stood out to me was the room with the blue flecked star dome. The blue was still integrated in a fairly natural way.

Subtle but ornate, based on my trip to the Alhambra.
About gattacho
A Seattlite in financial exile making the best I can out of my situation. When life sends me lemons, I always ask "which varietal". Based on the answer, sometimes I make the best lemonade and other times I make a mean Moroccan chicken.
