Overview

The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes...and that is actually our goal with this tour: To show you the famous "Alhambra and Generalife" from another perspective. History and legend are intermingled in this jewel of the Nasrid dinasty of Al-Andalus that perfectly combines water, light, architecture and vegetation. Do you want to know the symbolism behind each of these elements? Esotericism, sufism, astrology, mythology... interesting, isn't it? The Alhambra walls and fountains are actually a book full of poetry, religion and political propaganda, where we can also read the function of its rooms in the voice of a beautiful woman speaking with a delicate voice to the visitor. Together we will experience the same overwhelming feeling of those ambassadors coming to visit the Nasrid king and its piece of paradise on earth... Thousands book guided tours to the Alhambra every year...do they all come back home knowing its secrets?

Meeting points

Once in front of the Alhambra tickets’ area, please go right towards the Polinario Café Bar and your guide will be waiting for you in the bench on the right.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Nasrid Palaces

    Three palaces form this enclosure: the Mexuar, the Palace of Comares (Yusuf I) and the Court of the Lions (Mohammed V).

    1 hour

  • Alcazaba

    The Alcazaba, or fortress, is the oldest part of the Alhambra. It was built in the mid-13th century by the Sultan Alhamar, the founder of the Nasrid dynasty.

    30 minutes

  • Generalife

    The complex consists of the Patio de la Acequia (Court of the Water Channel or Water-Garden Courtyard), which has a long pool framed by flowerbeds, fountains, colonnades and pavilions, and the Jardín de la Sultana (Sultana's Garden or Courtyard of the Cypress).

    1 hour

  • Palace of Carlos V

    The Palace of Charles V is a Renaissance building in Granada, southern Spain, located on the top of the hill of the Assabica, inside the Nasrid fortification of the Alhambra. The building has never been a home to a monarch and holds the Alhambra's museum.

Great tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We signed in for a group tour but only two of us, so it became a private tour! Our guide was super knowledgeable and guided us in the Alhambra for 3 hours. It was super informative and happy to know so much about Alhambra

Great Tour

Juan was a wonderful tour guide! Very friendly, communicative and knowledgeable. He has an excellent command of English and made our tour fun, educational and enjoyable! The Alhambra was an amazing location, but we were very happy to have a guide fill us in on its hidden gems and secrets. Thank you

Great guide and great tour!

Xavi was a great guide!!! He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the Alhambra. I thought the pace was good and didn’t feel rushed. I recommend this tour with Xavi.

Amazing Alhambra experience

Published on Nov, 2024

We booked the small group tour, and it really was! Just the two of us and our guide, Esther. We had a great tour and Esther was brilliant at explaining everything, including the best way to get a good photo of the ceiling! A fantastic few hours, we enjoyed it thoroughly.
