Granada, Spain: Ole!
July 12, 2007
Detail from the Mexuar hall of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. This is the hall of the royal palace where the Muslim rulers held public audience (the Spanish “mexuar” is from Arabic “shura or mashwara” meaning to consult or consultation). The calligraphy here is the word Allah, God. The Spanish Ole derives from Allah!
