Granada was a Muslim city in the Middle Ages and it was protected by an enchanting castle known as Alhambra, located at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Alhambra Palace dominated the Granadian sky with its high walls accompanied by 37 towers. Its construction took over 150 years. However, what makes Alhambra the most visited site in Spain is more than just being a highly fortified military shelter. It is a palace where joy flourished in its elegant courtyards, deadly intrigues took place, and at the same time, the greatest and most beautiful example of Islamic architecture in the west. The captivating palace, known for its walls inscribed thousands of times with "There is no victor but Allah," seems to have come straight from the stories of the 1001 nights and was unexpectedly lost to Queen Isabel by Sultan 12th Muhammad (Boabdil). The same year, it was declared the royal palace of the Spanish Crown, and royal decisions that initiated Christopher Columbus's journey were made here. All the stories known today about the palace have been compiled by the renowned writer Washington Irving in the Tales of the Alhambra. During our Alhambra Palace tour, we will visit the Gardens of the Cibeles, the Summer Palace, the famous Emperor Charles' Palace, the Alcazaba Fortress, and possibly the Nasrid Palace depending on availability. Unforgettable memories, stories, and photographs await you. After the tour, we move to Sevilla. Along the way, we will conduct a city tour in Cordoba.
