Description

Enjoy a walking tour of Granada’s marvelous Alhambra, a 14th-century fortress-palace and UNESCO World Heritage site considered to be the most spectacular example of Moorish architecture in Spain. Granada’s narrow streets and serene plazas abound with charm, but you’ll agree the city’s highlight remains the incomparable Alhambra. Appreciate the magnificent approach as the Alhambra’s towers rise imposingly from a forest of cypress and elm trees. Inside the huge complex, you’ll find the fortified Alcazaba citadel and the delicate Palacios Nazaries, a series of stunning administrative and residential quarters. As you wander through seemingly endless rooms and courtyards, you’ll be dazzled by richly colored mosaics, intricate ceilings and romantic archways.

Explore the adjacent Generalife, ancient summer retreat of the Arab kings. You’ll learn the palace is comprised of two pavilions separated by the enchanting Acequia Patio, whose terraces offer up spectacular views of Granada’s old Moorish quarter. Understand why these phenomenal gardens inspired author Washington Irving to write a collection of essays entitled Tales of the Alhambra after his 1828 visit. Savor a traditional Andalusian lunch and contemplate your unforgettable foray through one of the world’s most exquisite architectural wonders.
