Granada was our first trip to Spain, and not without difficulty: it took us a long time to find somewhere to camp, and food was very scarce.
But in this city, our three hussars were able to parade on horseback through the old quarters and fight in the square and on the ground around the town, all to the sound of a band. By day we marched on foot; on the first evening, we found horses round the corner of a street.
With a few other riders, we charged the enemy troops, then fell back to the sound of the cannon. Tired of all these battles, we went to the Alhambra to relax.
