Another activity here is walking or taking the carriage driven by horses. We have a lot of that here in Granada. You can take a horse drawn carriage to to buy groceries or to work instead of walking. You see a lot of carriages around the park. Both locals and foreigners take these carriages and go around Granada Central Park and to the lake to enjoy a beautiful view.
