Alhambra gardens tour guided(English guide)
Descripción
If you’re wondering about the origins of the monument visited by almost three million people every year, you need to know that its name comes from the Arabic: al-Hambra (‘the red one’). It was designed between the 9th and 12th centuries as a military area (Qal’at al-hamra, ‘Red Fortress’), but not only for that: the Alhambra was a stronghold, a Nasrid palace and a medina (small city) all at the same time. That was until 1492, when it became a Christian court after the reconquest of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs. As the heritage site is enormous and full of details, a visit to the Alhambra is never short. Some people do it in one or two hours, but history lovers can take more than five hours. From the Alcazaba to the Royal Palaces, the charming Gilded Room, the majestic Comares Hall, the Renaissance palace of Charles V (now the Museum of Fine Arts) or the famous Courtyard of the Lions...

Itinerario
Cierto que Andalucía tiene en su haber muchos Patrimonios de la Humanidad; pero el más espectacular y visitado con diferencia es la Alhambra, un conjunto histórico monumental. Se entiende su éxito si se contempla desde el mirador de San Nicolás, al otro lado del río Darro. Mejor si se hace al caer el sol, acompañados por las guitarras y el cante de los artistas de espectáculos callejeros. Al expresidente de Estados Unidos, Bill Clinton, le bastó unas pocas horas allí para declarar que era “el atardecer más bello del mundo”.

We had a fantastic trip with SunTravel Granada. I was traveling with my elderly and disabled mother. We did the private Alhambra and Albaicin tour and also travelled from Granada to Malaga airport with Rafa. Rafa is exceptionally kind, patient and helpful. He was great in organising tailored trips for us with prompt communication before we left. Our trip to Granada wouldn't have been the same without his input. I had some anxieties about traveling with my son and mum but Rafa took any stresses away and ensured that all age groups had a great time. I would highly recommend using SunTravel Granada to anyone and would like thank Rafa again for ensuring we had a wonderful time.
