Granada is Spain's most visited city, drawing tourists from all over the world, most of whom are eager to see the famous world heritage sites. Also, some people can enjoy the wonderful music and dance festivals there. Located in Spain's most southern region, you are guaranteed lovely hot weather during the summer. However, as it is set at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, there is skiing during the winter, making it a popular destination all year round.

  Centuries ago, Granada was once a city filled with hundreds of public baths. One of the few that remains undamaged dates back to the 11th century. However, Granada's most popular attraction is the Alhambra. The name Alhambra means “red castle” because of the color of the stone, which is particularly beautiful at sunset. As you walk through its narrow streets and beautiful gardens, you will be able to experience the charm of this particular region.

  　Within the Alhambra is the Parador (旅馆) Granada, which is one of Spain's most popular hotels. It was originally part of a palace and later turned into a convent (女修道院), it's a place where you can calm your mind. Its tranquil courtyard and lovely views are some of the reasons why so many guests enjoy their stay.

  Located on the hill not far from the Alhambra is Albaicin. This used to be an Arab silk market, but today the small streets are filled with shops selling local handicrafts. From Albaicin, there is a steep walk up to a church, but it's well worth the effort. With the mountains in the background, you will be able to get a beautiful view.

  Granada has its own airport with flights from London and Stansted, so flying out for a long weekend couldn't be easier. Why not discover for yourself why so many people around the world love coming to this charming city?

Several weeks ago, I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we'd visited, and I pointed them out on the map.

  Google Maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places, but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it's up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.

  As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, “When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong in today's classroom.”

  As a child I had National Geographic maps taped to my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I'd “seen”. Even now as a mother of four, I've also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.

  　Additionally, in this fast­changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one's usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old­fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse “big picture” thinking, showing kids that there's a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.

So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.

篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的亲身经历，告诉我们应该教孩子们看纸质地图，这个技能将使他们终生受益。

5．How did the children react when they were given the paper map?
