One of the best ways to get to know the best essence of the city of Granada is to take a guided tour of the Alhambra Nasrid Palace. This is the only way to imagine what it was like to be the capital of one of the most powerful kingdoms of antiquity.
The transfer of the capital of the Nasrid kingdom took place around the 13th century and was one of the most splendid periods at all levels, despite the dark moments that also took place. Marvel at the richness of the gardens, fountains, stuccoes and magnificent decorations of the buildings on the Nasrid palace tour and discover the history that for centuries has been hidden from the curious. With the help of a local guide, you’ll not only skip the queues, but you’ll also discover why so many people rave about this triple-character fortress.
We talk about the triple character because the Alhambra is transformed into a city made up of a fortress (Alcazaba), a palace (Alcázar) and a small city (Medina). This particularity helps us to understand the multiple characteristics of this monument and the administrative and defensive importance it had in its time.
During the visit, an official guide will accompany you and your small group throughout the tour. He will be in charge of transporting your imagination back to the time of the Taifa Kingdoms while you are enveloped in the halo of mystery that captivated so many ordinary people and writers of the stature of Washington Irvin, famous for writing his illustrious book “Tales of the Alhambra” inside one of the rooms.
During the tour you will visit the Nasrid Palaces, with unique spaces such as the Hall of the Abencerrajes and the Hall of Dos Hermanas. Legends that took place in them will be unveiled throughout the tour.
The visit continues to the Alcazaba, where you will discover the secrets of the interior of the Torre de la Vela. In this part of the Alhambra guided tour you can also enjoy one of the most impressive views of the city of Granada. The bells you will see, in fact, are only rung once a year on the occasion of the Day of the Taking of Granada (Día de la Toma), an event that commemorates the handing over of the keys of the city by Boabdil to Queen Isabella the Catholic.
The visit ends at the Generalife, annex to the Alhambra and the sultan’s summer residence. The Patio del Ciprés de la Sultana, a love story, and the Escalera del Agua, a staircase that stands out for its beauty and originality.
