Stop At: The Alhambra, Calle Real de la Alhambra, s/n Palacio de Carlos V, 18009 Granada Spain

The Alhambra, located on the Sabica hill, is an Andalusian palatine city.
Its name comes from the reddish colour of its walls, coming from the clay of the land itself (Al-Hamra in Arabic).
It is formed by a group of palaces, gardens and fortress where there was a citadel within the city of Granada itself, its main function was to serve as accommodation for the monarch and the court of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. There are also Christian settlements, such as the palace of Charles V and the church of Santa Maria, built on top of the old mosque.
It is one of the most visited monuments in Spain and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1984.
Enjoy the visit with an official guide.


Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Alcazaba, Calle Real de la Alhambra Conjunto Monumental de la Alhambra y el Generalife, 18009 Granada Spain

The Alcazaba is the oldest part of the Alhambra, from the Arabic: القصبة al-qaṣbah (citadel) was a fortified enclosure of urban character, whose function was to serve as royal residence to Mohamed I until the Palaces were finished, from there its function was purely military.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Palace of Carlos V, Alhambra, 18009 Granada Spain

Carlos V's palace is a Renaissance construction by the architect Pedro Machuca. The palace is unique in its style, forming a square with a circular courtyard inscribed inside. It is the most outstanding work of the Spanish Renaissance.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Generalife Realejo-San Matias, 18009 Granada Spain

The Generalife is the villa with gardens used by the Muslim kings of Granada as a place of retreat and rest. It was conceived as a rural villa, where ornamental gardens, orchards and architecture were integrated in the vicinity of the Alhambra.
The name we give to the Generalife complex literally means Yannat al-Arif: "The Architect's Garden", an allusion to the gardens and orchards that supplied fruit and vegetables to the Nasrid court. However, the palace to which we are heading, designed as a resting place for the monarch, was what the poet Ibn al-Jayyab called "the royal house of happiness".

Sadly too many visitors even in March in freezing rain. Ticketing is confusing and very expensive unable to view the palaces which was the main reason for going. Thankfully Granada itself and the amazing Casa de Reyes made the trip.

Trash! The app didn’t work 90% of the time, there was no skipping the lines, the emails and ticketing process was so confusing I tried to find their physical location but it wasn’t correct in their emails or in maps. They spammed me aggressively in my emails as well. I definitely didn’t get what I paid DOUBLE for and will be filing a credit card dispute.

The guide was excellent! Very knowledgeable and gave us a great historical insight to life there. We saw the gardens, the Alcázaba and the Generalife. It was a beautiful day and the views were stunning .

Five stars for our guide Roberto. Very informative. Four and a half stars for the tour agency. We booked for 11 am but were told the day before they didn't have the minimum participants so we could switch to 3.30 pm or get a full refund. This also enabled us to add a self-guided tour of the Nasrid palaces, which should not be missed. BE SURE TO take the municipal minibus for EUR 1.40 up the hill to the meeting point! (They didn't tell us about this)
