Visit Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and get to know the last historically Arabic city in Spain. This tour takes you back 600 years, when this fortress was reconstructed and converted into a magnificent royal palace by the Sultan of Granada.
The Alhambra complex offers sweeping views of nearby villages and the jagged Sierra Nevada Mountain.
Upon arrival at the meeting point, your guide tells you stories about the site's construction and transformation over the centuries.
Enter the sprawling complex, gazing up at its sheer stone walls designed with Nasrid architecture. This former fortress was converted into a palace in the 14th century, so you're greeted by delicate stonework and ornate ceilings in each chamber you enter.
Step into the royal complex, and see the quarters that Charles V once called home, and then wander the former sultan's recreational area and lush Moorish gardens. Hear more stories about Alhambra's origins as a military fortress before its transformation into an extravagant hilltop palace.
