Itinerary
This is a complete visit to the Alhambra (tickets included): for about 2.5-3 hours we will show you what is considered by many as the most impressive monument in Spain. We will start by visiting the Generalife, an area of beautiful gardens and orchards where the Sultan had a palace that was used for personal enjoyment. After the Generalife, we will go to see the Palace of Charles V, a Christian palace in the heart of the Alhambra that will not leave you indifferent. In the Alcazaba, the defensive-military zone, we will be lucky enough to enjoy what are probably the best views of the city, and finally, we will visit the Nasrid palaces, the center of political and bureaucratic administration of the kingdom of Granada.
Personal and private place of the Sultan for recreation, leisure, religion... also with agricultural functions, its beautiful gardens are one of the favorite places of the visitor.
The center of power of the kingdom of Granada: administration, justice, private dependencies... the Nasrid Palaces represent the splendor of the kingdom.

We had a guided tour of the Alhambra with the excellent guide Mathías. His knowledge of the history, architecture and culture of the Alhambra was fantastic, and he explained everything in a fascinating and enthusiastic way. He took the time to answer questions and the tour was well structured; he also showed us photos on his iPad. We learnt a great deal, but we also really enjoyed the visit and Mathías’s company. Thanks to his stories and explanations, the rich history of the Alhambra really came to life. We can wholeheartedly recommend this guide to anyone visiting the Alhambra who wants to understand more about this special place. Thank Mathias for this wonderful experience!
