Description
The Alhambra is the most visited monument in Spain and one of the best-preserved Islamic palatial complexes in the world. This option is designed for those who prefer to explore the site at their own pace, without relying on a group schedule, with direct round-trip transportation from Motril, tickets included to all areas, and a professional audioguide app available in several languages.
Our visit covers the three main areas of the complex. The Nasrid Palaces concentrate the political and residential core of the Nasrid dynasty, with the Mexuar, the Comares Palace, and the Patio of the Lions as the central sequence, each with geometric and epigraphic ornamentation that the audioguide contextualizes in detail. The Alcazaba, the military fortress from the 13th century, offers the most complete panoramic view of Granada and the Vega from the Torre de la Vela. The Generalife Gardens conclude the tour with the irrigation gardens and Mediterranean vegetation of the sultans' retreat palace. Access to the Nasrid Palaces must be done within the time slot indicated on the ticket.
