Discover why the Alhambra in Granada is one of Spain's most popular monuments with this day trip from Benalmadena. Delve into its legendary Arab history!

Description

At the appointed time, we will meet at a designated point and depart Benalmadena toward Granada. Along the way, we will stop halfway for breakfast.

Upon arrival in Granada, you will have 2 hours to explore the city. You can visit the Cathedral, stroll through the Arab neighborhoods, like the Albaicin, and walk along the Paseo de los Tristes for panoramic views of the Alhambra.

After regrouping, we will proceed to the Alhambra. We will spend 3 hours touring the palace-complex, including the Palace of Carlos V, Alcazaba, Generalife, and its gardens.

Throughout the tour, we will explore the history of the Muslim caliphs and emirs up to the Catholic Monarchs' Reconquista in 1492. The Alhambra's design reflects the authentic Al-Andalus essence and its status as a World Heritage Site.

We will return to the vehicle and head back to Benalmádena, concluding a 10-hour excursion.

Alhambra with Nasrid Palaces

For a comprehensive visit, you can opt to tour the Nasrid Palaces, including the Courtyard of the Lions and the Palace of Comares. Note that the Alcazaba will not be included in this option.

Occasionally, the itinerary may be reversed; we may visit the Alhambra complex first and then provide free time in central Granada.
