The Alhambra is considered to be one of the wonders of the world and a symbol of the mixture of cultures. Layers from zirid, nasrid and different christian times enrichened with stunning viewpoints are placed inside the spaces of this monument.
This high-cultural Alhambra tour will allow you to discover the main highlights of the palatine city and its surroundings. Little by little the history and architecture of the palaces inside the Alhambra will be developed to you, from the city perspective until the detail of each space, enriching the visit with literature and music recommendations, legends, details about how the spaces were built and my own experience living in Granada.
