ERN Carlos Guillermo at the Patio de Mexuar. During the Nasrid rule, the Sultan would meet with his ministers in this courtyard. It was ERN Carlos Guillermo's turn to welcome guests and tourists.
His Royal Orangeness Karl Willem, or more appropriately ERN Carlos Guillermo in Castillan, visited Garnat-al-Yahud (modern day Granada), former capital of the Caliphate of Cordoba, last Moorish citadel of the Iberian peninsula, and very happening Andalucian university town.
ERN Carlos Guillermo and loyal human consort El Nashman spent an entire day embracing the mudejar atmosphere of that very beautiful Nasrid dynasty legacy -The Alhambra. It will be not be an exaggeration to say that ERN Carlos Guillermo was mobbed by the muy muy bonita y muy caliente señoritas who made this year's Official Royal Orangeness Visit to Andalucia a very memorable event.
ERN Carlos Guillermo at the Patio de los Arrayanes (named for the Myrtles bordering the reflecting pool). It was a great feat of Moorish engineering diverting rivers to supply water to Sabika hill where the Alhambra sits majestically.

Te amo!
