Highlights
We will walk through the medieval Nasrid medina and its Arab castle. It's like time travel. The views are second to none in that the blue of the Mediterranean, the white of the whitewashed houses and the green of the vega are intertwined on a wonderful canvas almost divine. The experience will certainly be unforgettable. Evening tours at 21:00 include an outside visit to the castle as it closes at night. You will know the unexplained presence of Princess Zorahaida and the hidden message that awaits for each of the visitors. Do you also want to receive a signal in your life?

Itinerary
We will visit the Arab castle of the s. X that crowns the rock on which Salobreña is located. We will look out over the Tagus from which we will enjoy wonderful views of the Mediterranean, the Sierra Nevada and the subtropical plains that surround the town. We will learn about the legend of the three princesses and the game of chess, the legendary episode starring Hernando del Pulgar and his curious historical trajectory as a royal prison, a sultans' playground or as a simple military garrison.
We will walk through its white streets and its incredible viewpoints of the Mediterranean and the Sierra Nevada.
The Christian community of Salobreña dates back to the end of the 3rd century. Its parish priest Silvanus participated in the Council of Elvira (Granada) in the year 305. The current parish church is in the Mudejar style and was built at the beginning of the s. 16th

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).
