More information

Intricate designs and rich Moorish detail await. It will be hard not to feel like royalty as we take you through the breathtaking Alhambra. Each piece of this mystical jigsaw is perfectly sculpted to create a serene yet lavish hide-out in the mountains. Join us to uncover this masterpiece, and more, as we venture on into the city that it once protected – and all in half a day!

As we show you around, follow the scent of flowers in the ‘Generalife’, clamber through the Alcazaba fortress, stand in awe within the Nazari Palaces and understand the Renaissance Palace of Charles V.

Just as enchanting as the Alhambra are the views surrounding it. As if they too had been carved solely to please the eye: Spain’s highest mountains against the city of Granada itself. There is nothing subtle about the Alhambra

Continue on to descend through the lush forest of the Alhambra to the Albaicin district, named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994. Here, within the white-washed maze of streets lies the final piece of our jigsaw. This is the Arab Quarter of Granada, home to many tales and of course, local bars and taverns where we will end with a drink in hand.
