Red palace of Alhambra…. what a morning…

5.00Go early morning, we arrived at 0830 am, it was cooler and far less people. Our guide was Mohamed, and, for us, he bought the red palaces history and secrets to life. The twists and turns of the garden, the irrigation system, the summer palace and its beauty. Alhambra was seen through a cultural lens, from understanding the writings in the fretwork, poetry hidden, steps of paradise, and the geometry and meaning of ceramic designs. Secrets we’d have missed… the lion clock that was, stained glass in women’s rooms, the communication chamber, the fountains and stillness, views, the amazing engineering of irrigation, and the surprise of just how many plants growing there, are in our garden… and so much more. Be clear what you’d like to do with your spare time, we headed into Grenada for a mixed platter of Iberian cheeses and meats, and watched the world go by, bought traditional caramelised sweet treats and art…. Of course you may wish to squeeze your own visit to cathedral or something else, or enjoy a luxurious lunch overlooking the City from up high. Just speak to your guide. Whatever you do wear comfortable and footwear, there’s lots of walking… This is just our personal view, we would recommend it… just open your mind to discover a citadel full of history and peace.

5.00The tour was perfect. Great pairing of historic facts with a gentle pace allowing time to take in all the amazing visuals. In addition, the chosen lunch spot was excellent. I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors as well as anyone wishing to go on a repeat visit and learn more historic facts.
Well done, in-depth tour of Alhambra

5.00Our guide was extremely well informed! The Alhambra grounds were filled with large number of adults on tours, and students on fields trips while we were there; our guide was very adept at maneuvering us through and around the crowds. She was able to point out many things to our small group (of 4 people) that just would not have been possible if we had taken a tour consisting of a large number of people. She also coordinated well with our transportation team, ensuring that we were able to return to our cruise ship (and hour and 30 minutes away from Alhambra) in time for its departure to the next port. Highly Recommended!
