Full description

The Alhambra is one of Spain’s most visited monuments and tickets are hard to get at short notice, so this day trip takes care of everything. You travel by coach from Málaga to Granada, about an hour and a half away, and enter the complex with reserved tickets.

A guide leads you through the Nasrid Palaces, the Alcazaba fortress and the Generalife gardens, explaining the court life of the last Moorish kingdom in Spain. Afterwards there is free time in the centre of Granada, with a tapa and a drink included, before you return to Málaga in the evening.
