Visita guiada a la Alhambra de Granada
Come and enjoy a guided tour of the Alhambra in Granada, together with Felipe, our local host, who will explain the legends and stories of this impressive place while you visit its palaces and gardens together, strategically located at the top of Sabika hill In the 9th century, the Alcazaba that protected the Nasrid kingdom stood. It was in the thirteenth century when King Mohammad I, better known as Al-Ahmar, decided to establish his residence and ordered the construction of the luxurious Nasrid Palaces and gradually a medina with its own water system and other constructions such as noble houses, workshops, baths. public, cisterns and other more common dwellings where the servants lived. Among beautiful gardens we also find the Generalife Palace or the residence of the Kings. After the 10-year war, in 1492, the Catholic King Carlos I wanted to preserve the Alhambra, although he had his own palace built within the palatine city.
The enclosure went through different states of conservation as it passed from one dynasty to another, but it was in the War of Independence when the French invaders destroyed a good part of the fortifications and although the intention was also to blow up the Nasrid Palaces, the feat of the Corporal José García, putting his own body first, managed to avoid a greater evil. In 1870 it was declared a monument, and since then there has been constant work on the recovery and reconstruction of the abandoned or attacked areas. Unesco declared it a World Heritage Site in 1984.
This great architectural jewel preserves the great secrets of the Andalusian legacy and even today Nasrid drawings, letters and other curiosities are still being discovered with which we learn new meanings of their art.
The visit lasts about 2.5-3 hours, so we recommend you wear comfortable clothes and shoes, bring water and sun protection. We recommend taking 15-minute breaks when leaving the Nasrid Palaces and after visiting the Generalife, to make your visit more enjoyable.
Even if you have purchased your ticket in advance, we recommend that you access the venue well in advance, especially during weekends and holidays due to the large influx of visitors that can be concentrated at the entrances.
