Stop 1
Pick up at the point of origin with a journey time to Granada of 90 min.
We visit the Alhambra with a local guide, a unique monument in the world for its beauty. It consists of a group of old palaces, gardens and a fortress (Alcazaba), initially conceived to house the Emir and the court of the Nasrid Kingdom, later as the Castilian royal residence and its representatives.
Its artistic uniqueness lies in the interiors of the Nasrid Palaces, whose decoration is among the pinnacles of Andalusian art, as well as in its location and adaptation, generating a new landscape that is fully integrated with the pre-existing nature.
In addition, it houses a museum of Andalusian art, the main art gallery of the city as well as an old convent converted into a national Parador.
