General information

Destination
Granada, Spain

Program details

Greet your guide in the centre of Granada and head to the Alhambra, a palace fortress declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco on Sabika Hill. Skip the lines with your reserved entrance and step inside to enjoy yourself.



If the Alhambra is the masterpiece of the Muslim Granada, the Cathedral and Royal Chapel are the Christian ones. Cathedral was erected on the place where the Main Mosque of the city used to be on behalf of Isabella of Castilla and is one of the first Renaissance constructions of Spain. Royal Chapel is built right next to the Cathedral. It is one of the biggest mausoleums in Europe and it is a symbol of Christianity as it was the place where the Catholic Kings decided to rest forever in. The graves of Juana, their daughter, Philippe, their son-in-law, and Miguel de la Paz, their grandson, are located here as well.



At sunset, we will visit some of the most important areas of the emblematic Albaicín neighborhood, such as the viewpoint of San Nicolás or the walk of the sad, as well as hidden corners that will transport us to a bygone era. We will visit together the exteriors of the Plaza de San Miguel Bajo, the Palace of Dar-al-Horra (residence of the mother of Boabdil, the last sultan of Granada) or the House of Zafra (a clear example of Nasrid house). We will also see the fabulous bell tower of the church of San José and get lost in the squares and corners of a neighborhood founded in the eighth century B.C.
