Stroll to the hill of Sacromonte, another typical quarter famous for its cave dwellings, Romani community, and flamenco tradition.

The cathedral’s Royal Chapel is built with a single nave, and holds the tomb of King Ferdinand, the Queen Isabella, Philip the First and Joanna the First, and Miguel, the Prince of Asturias.

Intricate Moorish architecture, lush gardens, and a rich history spanning centuries converge as you join a private guide on site for a toour of the Alhambra Palace, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site in Granada. On a rocky hill, on the banks of the River Darro, protected by mountains and within the eldest quarter of the city, the Alhambra rises up like an imposing castle, with its distinctive reddish stone in its ramparts which prevent the outside world from seeing the delicate beauty enclosed within. The Alhambra ranks among the world’s finest examples of Islamic art with carved cedar, intermittent stucco work, and gorgeous mosaics.

Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence of royalty and the court of Granada in the middle of the 13th century.

The complex of monuments is formed by the stunning Moorish palaces, including the Palace of King Charles V, and the Generalife, which is surrounded by orchards, tranquil pools, fountains and beautiful gradens.
