What To Expect
The Alhambra
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
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.

4.00One poor elderly couple got 3 hours to destination but didn’t have passports so were refused entry. This is despite when booking you have to provide all passport details. Nowhere on the website does it say you have to bring them physically on the tour. Considering the place is empty this seems crazy so this couple had to sit around the whole day and then travel 3 hours home. Why did the tour guide not check before we left town. Extremely poor service.

4.00The place is beautiful and stunning and a great experience for anyone visiting Spain. The guides did a good job of explaining the history. The tour guides should be more mindful of people needing bathroom breaks and taking us to good facilities. This is particularly true if there are older folks in the group. We had a very poor experience with restrooms.
