I didn't quite understand that it was all about the Alcazaba, the gardens and the Generalife. A bit disappointed as it's a trip I don't think I'll be able to do again. However, we really enjoyed Granada.

We visited the magnificent Alhambra The Generife, exceptional for its history and clash of cultures. A moment suspended in time. Granada is a marvel.

We thought that the ticket would give us access to more areas of the Alhambra. Instead, we were only able to visit the gardens.
