ALHAMBRA
The Jewel of Spain

ALHAMBRA & GENERALIFE PRIVATE TOUR FROM MARBELLA

For a day, experience a door-to-door private tour out from Marbella to dive into the world-famous Alhambra.

Discover the Jewel of Spain on a magnificent tour led by your own local guide, an expert in the local legacy. The Alhambra provides all kinds of emotion, being one of the most majestic buildings the human race has ever made.

The Alhambra is the only Muslim medieval palace that has been kept practically in its entirety, and this is thanks, in large part, to the care that later majesties put into it and its transformations.

Al-Hamar, the founder of the Nasrid Dynasty, decided to start the reconstruction of the Alhambra in 1238, thus giving rise to the construction of the city of Granada we know today.

Within the monument, you will visit the Nasrid Palaces, the Alcazaba Fortress, and the Generalife, and discover all the Alhambra´s secrets and symbols, lush gardens with precious water games, and the magical palaces worthy of The Arabian Nights.

When your guided tour of the Alhambra ends, we recommend going for lunch to the Albaicin – the Moorish quarter and centre nerve of the historical quarter of Granada-. It is a short drive from the Alhambra.

Enjoy a memorable meal in a hand-picked local restaurant in the heart of Granada, with a terrific panoramic view of the Alhambra and the surrounding mountains.

Both sites -the Alhambra and the Albaicin- are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, sitting in confronted hills, separated by the Darro River with a unique past: the glorious heritage of Al-Andalus in Granada.
