1.00Tour operator was inflexible and would not accommodate a refund when all the trains were cancelled, so I missed the tour. I’m sure the palace is beautiful however was not impressed by the lack of understanding given the extreme circumstances.
Fulfilled a long time dream of the Alhambra.

5.00The visit was long and articulate, but well organized, with moments for breaks. The guide, Sandra, was prepared and there was no shortage of witty jokes. Unfortunately the weather was not the best, but we could get a view of the various parts and different information about the habits inside the Alhambra
