The Alhambra is a monumental complex on an Andalusian palatine city located in Granada, Spain.

It consists of a set of old palaces, gardens and fortresses initially conceived to house the emir and the court of the Nasrid Kingdom, later as the residence of the kings of Castile and their representatives. Its artistic singularity lies in the interiors of the Nasrid palaces, whose decoration is among the pinnacles of Andalusian art, as well as in its location and adaptation, which generated a new landscape but fully integrated with the pre-existing nature.

In 1984 it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, along with the Generalife and the Albaicín neighborhood.

We will visit the Albaicín neighborhood and its streets, getting to admire the magnificent views from the Mirador de San Nicolás.

We will walk through the Granada souk with its shops full of typical products and souvenirs

Once the visit to the Albaicín and the Nazari Souk is finished, we will return to Seville. The duration of the trip will be approximately 3 hours.
