A plague of birds and fascist flags amid the romance of the Alhambra

I must have crisscrossed Granada's historic Bib-Rambla square - where
Castile's conquering Catholics burned hundreds of Muslim holy books
one morning in 1501 - three times the other day, and each time workmen
were fiercely hosing the cobblestones with water. No, they weren't
still trying to expunge traces of heresy. Screaming starlings that
swirled in the wintry sky should have given me a clue. This cleansing
operation was directed at bird droppings. Sparrows and wagtails packed
the trees so densely it was hovering room only.
