The Alhambra or ‘Red Fortress’ is a breathtaking palace complex of the Moorish monarchs of Granada. Its original buildings date back to the eleventh century and were constructed for Mohammed Ibn Alhamar, the founder of the Nasrid Dynasty. The fortress or alcazaba was constructed first followed by the Royal Palace and finally the highest part of the Alhambra which became the court member residence. Centuries later, Charles V commissioned a palace to be built on the same site. Your visit to the Alhambra will take you through the most important halls and courtyards including the beautiful Patio de los Arrayanes (myrtle courtyard), the Patio de los Leones (lion courtyard), the Salon of the Embajadores (ambassador’s hall), and the Sala de los Abencerrajes, which was the scene of a tragic legend. Your guided tour will also take you to the alcazaba, the royal baths, the partial gardens and the palace of Charles V.  

Afterwards, your tour continues to the Generalife, found next to the Alhambra. A place of leisure and recreation for the Moorish kings of Granada, the Generalife encompasses stunning gardens containing a myriad of colourful plants and wonderful water features.
