Itinerary

1

The Alhambra

The best-conserved palace from the Al-Andalus Islamic sovereigns in Spain. Really one of the most amazing monuments you can visit.

2

Puerta de la Justicia

Standing at the entrance, admire the Horseshoe Arch and the Christian coat of arms, symbolizing the shift from Moorish rule to Spanish conquest in 1492.

3

Puerta del Vino

A beautiful horseshoe-arched gate, the Puerta del Vino once led to the royal palaces. The name may come from its role as a place where wine was once traded, although some historians suggest it refers to its decorative colors.

4

Plaza de los Aljibes

This wide esplanade sits above the Alhambra’s water reservoirs (“aljibes”), offering a fantastic panoramic view of the Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods. It’s a perfect moment to take in the fusion of Islamic and Renaissance architecture.

5

Alcazaba

The Alcazaba, the oldest part of the Alhambra, functioned as a military fortress. Climb the Torre de la Vela (Watchtower) for breathtaking 360° views of Granada. The tower bell, famously rung every January 2nd, marks the day the Catholic Monarchs took the city from the Nasrids.

6

Palace of Carlos V

A dramatic contrast to the Islamic-style structures around it, Palacio de Carlos V was built in the 16th century by Emperor Charles V to emphasize Spanish dominance. The massive circular courtyard inside is one of Spain’s finest Renaissance designs.

7

Palacio El Partal

The Partal Gardens feature reflective pools, Moorish towers, and lush vegetation, making it one of the most picturesque spots in the Alhambra. The nearby Torre de las Damas (Ladies’ Tower) preserves elegant Nasrid-style balconies overlooking the gardens.

8

Generalife

Walk through the gates of the Generalife, the summer palace and gardens of the Nasrid sultans. This estate provided a peaceful retreat away from the formalities of court life.
