"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Overview
Journey through the beautiful Andalucía countryside to the historic City of Granada where you will find one of the most visited historic treasures in Europe. The Alhambra or ‘Red Fortress’ is a spectacular palace complex that was originally commissioned by the Moorish Monarchs of Granada in the eleventh century. A fort and royal palace was constructed at the top of the Assabic (Red Hill) offering unrivalled views of the surrounding area. Centuries later, Charles V commissioned a palace to be built on the same site. Explore the most important halls and courtyards including the beautiful Patio de los Arrayanes, the Patio de los Leones, the Salon of the Embajadores (ambassador’s hall), the alcazaba, and the royal baths. Your tour then continues to the Palace of Charles V and the Generalife Gardens. Found next to the Alhambra, these gardens where place of leisure and recreation for the Moorish kings of Granada and from here you can enjoy wonderful views across the city. In the afternoon there is plenty of free time to explore the rest of Granada at your own pace before returning to your Costa del Sol hotel.
