Alhambra Tour
“The Alhambra is the head of the capital of the kingdom, the seat of Islam, the refuge of power (…) and the cupboard of money and treasure; after having been a desert land and a barren ruin, today it is a bride sweetened by the rain that adorns the hill and courts the stars.“
Al- Jatib, 1973: II:52
This is how the Granada vizier Ibn Al-Khatib described it in the 14th century. Today, 700 years later, the Alhambra attracts millions of visitors every year who come to contemplate its beauty, elegance and architecture.
A World Heritage Site since 1986, it has never ceased to captivate and enchant all who visit it. It has been and continues to be an inspiration for artists, musicians, painters and writers. It exudes the nostalgia and pride of a period of great splendour.
