Itinerary
Private tour of the spectacular Alhambra Palace with private English-speaking official guide to give you a wonderful insight of the history and culture of this spectacular place. / / On this full day trip to Granada. We will visit the Alhambra palace and its courtyards which were built for the last Moorish Emirs in Spain, for the ruling Nasrid dynasty. After the Cristian reconquest by the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferdinand in 1492, some sections of the Alhambra palace were used by the Christian Monarchy. Their Grandson Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor in 1527, ruling much of Europe, built a palace that was inserted inside the Alhambra and within the old fortifications of the Nazarid Palaces. Then afterwards for centuries, the Alhambra was allowed to fall into disrepair as well as being badly destroyed by Napoleon troops. The Alhambra was rediscovered in the19th century by European and American scholars and travellers.

About Almería
Almería is a sunny port city in south-eastern Spain, with a huge Moorish fortress, a fortified cathedral and a wild volcanic coast at Cabo de Gata.
Almería lies on a wide bay in Andalucía's far south-east, one of the sunniest and driest corners of Europe. Above the port, the Alcazaba, built by the Moorish caliphate in the tenth century, is one of the largest Arab fortresses in Spain, with walled courtyards, gardens and views to the sea. The cathedral, built in the sixteenth century, has thick walls and towers designed to fend off pirates.
Top-ranked sights in Almería: Oasys MiniHollywood, Tabernas Desert (Desierto de Tabernas).
