Today, we visit the Alhambra itself for a guided tour. With
humble beginnings as a Roman hill fortress, the Alhambra was
rebuilt in the 13th century by the Moorish Emirate of Granada.
After various additions by numerous kings, the Alhambra is now a
magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site thanks to its beautiful
interiors, complex Mudéjar carvings, and indomitable
fortifications. The Generalife, the summer palace section, is a
serene oasis, complete with gentle fountains and a colourful
variety of flowers and trees.
We continue to a local restaurant in the pretty Albaycin, the
old Moorish Quarter of Granada, where we enjoy excellent food
against the stunning backdrop of the Alhambra. Next, we experience
a passionate Flamenco show in one of the caves of the Sacromonte
District. The caves- or troglodyte houses - were carved out around
the 16th- Century and were originally used as dwellings by the
marginalised sections, especially the Roma Gypsies.
Our tour ends on Day 8, as we transfer to
Malaga for our flight* back to the UK.
*Please note: You will need to take your luggage back to the
UK with you on your flight, rather than it travelling via our
luggage transfer service.
