Every city should have ...

...a big fountain to leap around in when your team wins. Unfortunately, Granada's teams tend not to win much, so people leap around in the Fuente de las Batallas (just off Acera del Darro, and near El Corte Ingles) when Real Madrid win instead. The other night though, it was the national squad beating Italy in the quarter finals of the European tournament that brought 3,000 Granadinos out to get soaked. I don't profess to know anything about football, but it appears that Spain's getting past Italy is a bigger triumph than if they win the trophy itself next week, against whoever. Here's the fuente with some revellers in and around it.
