The Alhambra, Granada, Spain On a rocky hill that is difficult to access, on the banks of the River Darro, protected by mountains and surrounded by woods, among the oldest quarters in the city, the Alhambra rises up like an imposing castle with reddish tones in its ramparts that prevent the outside world from seeing the delicate beauty they enclose.
Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence of royalty and of the court of Granada in the middle of the thirteenth century, after the establishment of the Nasrid kingdom and the construction of the first palace, by the founder King Mohammed ibn Yusuf Ben Nasr, better known as Alhamar. The fortress became a citadel with high ramparts and defensive towers, which house two main areas: the military area, or Alcazaba, the barracks of the royal guard, and the medina or court city, the location of the famous Nasrid Palaces and the remains of the houses of noblemen and plebeians who lived there.

Alcazaba, Granada, Spain The Alcazaba plainly served a military function. The entrance to the Alcazaba was at the foot of the Tower of Homage . At the base of the tower is a slight slope. A simple L-shaped walkway keeps the main gate from being seen from the outside. 30 minutes
Nasrid Palaces, Granada, Spain The habitual residence of the Kings of Granada, their construction began at the beginning of the 14th Century. The Nasrid Palaces are a palatial complex formed by three buildings:
- The Mexuar is the oldest hall. It was employed for meetings between the Ministers of the King and as a courtroom.
- Next, we come to the Palace of Comares, which dates back to the era of Yusuf I. This dwelling was erected around the Patio de los Arrayanes (Courtyard of the Myrtles), and its side exits lead to the Sala de los Embajadores (Hall of Ambassadors) and the Sala de la Barca (Hall of the Boat).
- The Palace of the Lions, dating back to the era of Muhammed V, is also a royal residence. It is composed of a central courtyard, the Courtyard of the Lions, and halls along each side, the Hall of the Mocarabes, the Hall of the Kings, the Hall of the Two Sisters, the Hall of the Ajimeces, leading on to the mirador Daraxa viewpoint, and the Hall of the Abencerrajes, along with the Harem. 90 minutes
Barrio Del Albaicin, Granada, Spain The Albaicin is a “barrio” (a neighbourhood) of Granada which has been built on a hill opposite the Alhambra. The layout came about when Granada was ruled by the Arabs long before the advent of cars so the streets form a narrow cobblestoned maze interspersed with small squares. The geranium filled balconies, glimpses of the Alhambra at every turn, the silence and the sound of running water in numerous fountains all give the Albayzin a romantic slightly enchanted atmosphere. 60 minutes

Kinda unorganized, but good all in all. The visit to Alhambra was definitely worth it. The guide was knowledgeable and was great to get to know :)

This was one of the more organized tours I have been on. Even though this tour was a full day (13 hours), it did not feel draining because we made rest stops along the way. After leaving Seville about 1 hour, we had 40min at a rest stop to grab food and use the bathroom. Then we proceeded to a walking tour of Albacin and 1 hour free time (I used it to eat lunch and had the best lamb leg at Casa Gabriel). Next was Alhambra. All our tickets were handled for us and our guide was very knowledgeable. I do wish we had a little bit more time in the Gardens, but overall I’m glad I went with a guide vs. wandering on my own. On the way back to Seville, we made a 10 min restroom break, about an hour from Seville. I had a wonderful time!

The Alhambra is a must-see! It’s a long drive from Seville, and there are many stairs to climb, but it’s absolutely worth it! Our two tour guides were wonderful! Attentive, informative, and entertaining!!
