Mobile ticket

Visiting the Generalife, Alcazaba and Albayzin quarter is a must for every curious traveler. Nasrid Palaces ARE NOT INCLUDED in this expercience but anyway, this is an a very impresive tour to understand the Moorish Granada

The esence of the city is in the Albaicin, in its labyrinthine streets full of legends.

The neighborhood of Albayzin, declared a World Heritage Site in 1984, was the origin of the current city of Granada, still retaining all the magic of its Arabic past. Narrow streets and white houses built at random, the famous Cármenes of Granada.

This tour is a perfect complement to the visit of the Generalife and the Alcazaba, as it allows us to see how the Arab and Christian culture are intermingled in the city and how beautiful is Granada from the other side.

This is a late afternoon tour. Your starting time will always ensure to enjoy the sunset.

What To Expect

Generalife

It will be at 10.00h but the starting time of the visit to the Alhambra may be altered in specific cases, and the client will always be informed with enough time The Generalife was an almunia with gardens next to the Alhambra of Granada. The name, from a dubious source, seems to come from the Arabic Yanat-al-Arif or Garden of the Architect , in a clear poetic-religious symbolism that alludes to God, Allah, as architect, creator of the Universe

Alcazaba

The Alcazaba, a fortress, is one of the oldest part of the Alhambra. It is thought that before it was built and before the Muslims arrived to Granada, there were already several constructions in the same area. The first historical reference to the existence of the Alcazaba dates from the 9th century and it is believed that it was then built by Sawwar ben Hamdun during the fights between Muslims and muwalladins. he Alcazaba became a real fortress, where the king established the royal residence. His son Mohammed II also had his residence in the Alcazaba, until the palaces were finished. From then on, the Alcazaba was only used as a fortress for military purposes.
