• 4An interesting place to see.

  Alhambra is a big area and it really helped to have a tour guide who was very experienced and could tell us all about the area. It was unfortunate that we were unable to get tickets to see the palace.

• 5Our visit to the Alhambra...

  Our visit to the Alhambra was filled with history, culture, and stories, thanks to Enrique, our guide. He made our pick up, drop off, and transport easy. He was knowledgeable and patient and worked to give our small group of 7 the best visit. The Alhambra is a large place. Our suggestion would be to offer a simple physical printed map for the participants to have as they tour.

• 5Alhambra (small group tour)

  The Alhambra tour was both educational and enjoyable, with magnificent scenery. Enrique, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and attentive, making sure everyone had a great experience - one of the advantages of having a small group tour (less than 6 people).

• 5Alhambra with Enrique!

  Enrique was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable and attentive and took great care of our group. I highly recommended asking for him for your day trip to the Alhambra in Granada. This is a must see in Spain !!!

• 5A Day Well Spent

  There is plenty of time to visit everything in Alhambra. Unfortunately, very little time ( 1 hour) în Granada, just enough to visit the Cathedral and its neighborhood.

About Malaga

Málaga is a sunny Andalusian port on the Costa del Sol, the birthplace of Picasso, with a Moorish fortress, city beaches and a thriving museum scene.

The Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress-palace, climbs the hill above the old town, with Gibralfaro Castle higher still and views over the port and bay. At its foot lie the Roman Theatre and the cathedral, nicknamed La Manquita, the one-armed lady, because its second tower was never finished.

Top-ranked sights in Malaga: Malaga Alcazaba, Malaga Cathedral (Cathedral de la Encarnación), Constitution Square (Plaza de la Constitucion).
