The Alhambra is a very impressive establishment with a special story. We had an excellent guide and you do need that to understand everything well. We did not have access to the palace, but it was still very worthwhile.

Absolutely must-see place for the intersection of cultures it represents. Our Italian-speaking guide Jose Manuel was very comprehensive.

The tour was very well organized and Paula's explanations were also very informative. Unfortunately, we had forgotten to book the Nazrid Palaces as well.
