 The visit will begin in the Alhambra, the construction of which was begun by the founder of the Nasrid Dynasty Mohammed Ibn Alhamar, in the X1 Century on the red hill known as Assabic, which overlooks Granada. First the fortress or Alcazaba was built, and subsequently, the royal palace and the highest part of the Alhambra which became the court member residence. Later on, Charles V commissioned a palace to be built on the same site. We shall visit the most important halls and courtyards of the Alhambra including the Patio de los Arrayanes (Myrtle Courtyard), the Patio de los Leones (Lion Courtyard), the salon of the Embajadores (Ambassador’s Hall), and the Sala de los Abencerrajes, which was the scene of a Tragic Legend. In addition, we shall also visit the Alcazaba or fortress, the Royal Baths, the Partial Gardens and the Palace of Charles V.
 The visit will then continue to the Generalife, situated next to the Alhambra, and which was a place of leisure and recreation for the Moorish kings of Granada. The Generalife contains splendid gardens which many varied types of flowers and fountains, described by a poet "hidden water weeps". The visit includes two further courtyards the Patio de la Acequia and the Patio de la Sultana.

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
