Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
The Alhambra is a monumental complex on an Andalusian palatial city, in Granada. It consists of a set of old palaces, gardens and fortress initially conceived to house the emir and the court of the Nasrid Kingdom, later as a Castilian royal residence and its representatives.
Its artistic uniqueness lies in the interiors of the Nasrid palaces, whose decoration is among the peaks of Andalusian art, as well as in their location and adaptation, generating a new landscape but totally integrated with the pre-existing nature.
