First and foremost, of course, is the incomparable Alhambra.
The Alhambra in Granada is one of
humanity's great
monuments. It should not be missed.
This is architecture
that is at once sensual, imaginative and inspiring. The old Nasrid sultan's
palace and the surrounding grounds, including
the Generalife gardens, are absolutely enchanting - the stuff of fairy
tales. Moorish art and architecture reached a spectacular and
wondrous pinnacle here in Granada. Nearing the end of their
centuries-long occupation of this southern part of the Iberian peninsula, the Nasrid
dynasty's artists and architects had achieved a marvelous style.
Because it is one of the world's "must-see" destinations, and arguably
the most important medieval monument in Europe, it has become
one of the most visited
attractions in the world. You most definitely need to
make your reservations in advance!
We recommend
a
guided tour in a small, personalized group.
In this way, you
will get the added historical touches that will flavour your experience in a
manner that just tramping through the grounds could never provide.
On this
tour, your guide
will take you to
the most important
halls and courtyards of the
Alhambra
including; the Patio de los Arrayanes
(myrtle courtyard), the Patio de los
Leones
(lion courtyard), the Salon of the
Embajadores (ambassador’s hall), and the
Sala de los Abencerrajes - all the while
recounting to you the fascinating and romantic history, and the stories and
legends that make this such a rare and special place.
In addition, you'll also visit the
Alcazaba fortress, the
Royal Baths,
the Palace Gardens and the
Palace
of
Charles
the Fifth.
And that's not all . . .
