Step into the magical world of the Alhambra Palace and Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that transports you to the heart of ancient Arabia. Nestled on a hilltop, this breathtaking palace is one of the most impressive examples of Moorish architecture. As you wander through its halls, marvel at the intricate cedar wood carvings, ornate ceilings, and beautiful mosaics, all set against the stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains.
On this guided tour, you’ll explore the Alhambra’s rich history and culture with a knowledgeable guide. Visit the Royal Palace, where every surface is a masterpiece of design, the Alcazaba fortress with its panoramic views of Granada, and the peaceful Generalife gardens, which were once the summer retreat of Moorish kings, inspired by the serene beauty mentioned in Koranic description of Paradise.

A beautiful place to visit, excellent guide, the audio devices used made it easy to hear everything the guide said, very well organised. It did begin to rain "and I mean rain"...
