Description

Treasure an in-depth exploration of Granada’s astonishing Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the elegant Generalife gardens on this fascinating tour with lunch. Settle in for an approximately 80-mile journey to arresting Granada and its expansive Alhambra complex, the revered city’s highlight, where you’ll join a knowledgeable guide and commence your tour. As you wander through seemingly endless rooms and courtyards, you’ll be dazzled by richly colored mosaics, intricate ceilings and romantic archways. Find that the complex houses the National Museum of Hispanic-Muslim Art and the Alcazaba, which is the Alhambra’s oldest section, originally a 9th-century fortress built by the founder of the Nazarene dynasty. You’ll discover that alluring Gothic elements were added later, as were additional palaces and patios. In the adjacent Generalife gardens, part of a sprawling former summer residence, observe the superb Moorish Patio de La Acequia, the Patio del Ciprés, which mixes Moorish and Renaissance features, the Italian-style terraced gardens and the famed Water Stairway, all of which are showcased amid a dazzling array of cypress hedges and fountains. Following your Alhambra tour, you’ll savor a delicious repast to conclude your incredible exploration.
