Full description

The Alhambra is full of meaning that is easy to miss: verses carved into the stucco, symbols of paradise in the gardens and hints of the political drama that ended Moorish rule. On this guided tour, a licensed local guide leads you through the Nasrid Palaces, the Alcazaba and the Generalife, explaining how each part was used and how the complex survived.

Tickets are included, which spares you the challenge of securing them yourself. You’ll finish in the Generalife gardens, with time to linger afterwards.
