Itinerary
Tour Itinerary
On this tour you will visit the Alhambra with an official guide from Granada 30 minutes
On this tour you will visit the Alhambra with an official guide from Granada. You will be able to delight yourself with the art and architecture of this ancient Muslim city and learn the stories of the sultans who dominated the ancient kingdom of Granada. The Alhambra is located on a hill called Al-Sabika. At first it was a military fortress but over time it became a palatial city full of water and gardens. The architects of the time made unique palaces in the world capable of withstanding the passage of time and arousing the admiration of everyone who enters their interior. The history of the Alhambra is also part of the history of Spain, since the last Nasrid sultan, Boabdil, decided to hand over his city to the Catholic Monarchs Isabel and Fernando, thus ending 781 years of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula.

The great poet vizier Ibn al-Yayyab describes this place as Dar al-Mamlaka al Sa'ida, The Royal House of Happiness. The farm is crossed by the famous Acequia Real. With it the orchards and aromatic plants were watered to delight the senses.
