Itinerary
We will meet at a central point easily accessible around the Alhambra. Your Expert Official Guide will warmly welcome you and deliver your tickets to the monument. (The exact meeting place will be confirmed a few days before the visit to ensure maximum punctuality.)
We started the tour where the Sultans sought peace. We will enter the Generalife Palace, an oasis of water, light and lush vegetation. We will witness the Patio de la Acequia, where the hydraulic ingenuity of the Nasrids creates an unrivalled sound and visual spectacle. The atmosphere will allow us to perceive the aromas of the garden and enjoy the fountains without the feeling of being surrounded by crowds.
We will tour the Paseo de las Torres, where each fortification keeps its own legend and reveals the importance of the defensive system of the citadel. Afterwards, we will go into the remains of the Medina, the ancient Palatine city of the officials, where your guide will reveal stories, curiosities and the daily life of those who inhabited the Alhambra.
We pause in the Renaissance masterpiece that is the Palace of Charles V. We will admire the boldness of its circular architecture and its impressive courtyard. This palace is the symbol of the historical and cultural change of Granada and the monument.
We will explore the Alcazaba, the oldest military sector, from whose battlements you can enjoy the most impressive and photogenic views of the city, with the Albaicín at the foot and Sierra Nevada as a backdrop.
We reach the beating heart of the Alhambra. The visit to the Nasrid Palaces is a moment of pure wonder. We will contemplate the peak of Islamic art: from the perfection reflected in the Patio de los Arrayanes to the mystical stillness of the Patio de los Lions. Here, light and architecture come together in a dance of filigree, stucco and poetry. Prepare for a luxury finish, sublime beauty and unforgettable contemplation.

About Granada
Granada is an Andalusian city below the Sierra Nevada, home to the Alhambra palace complex, the Moorish Albaicín quarter and a famous tapas habit.
The Alhambra, a hilltop fortress and palace complex built by the Nasrid rulers in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, is one of Spain's most visited monuments, with carved plasterwork, courtyards and pools, and the Generalife gardens beside it. Granada fell in 1492, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, and the cathedral and Royal Chapel, with the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, mark that turning point.
Top-ranked sights in Granada: Generalife Gardens, Alhambra (Alhambra de Granada), Palace of Charles V (Palacio de Carlos V).
