Enjoy the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A unique opportunity to get to know the Generalife, the Palace of Charles V, the Alcazaba and the monumental environment with a physical audio guide.

The Alcazaba, the oldest and most military sector of the Alhambra, still preserves its defensive essence. From its thick walls and towers, you can enjoy panoramic views of Granada, recalling its ancient role as a lookout. Walking through its narrow corridors and reaching the top of the Torre de la Vela is like entering the strategic heart of the former Nasrid kingdom.

Conceived as a place of rest and contemplation, it embodies the ideal harmony between nature and Andalusian art.

The Palace of Charles V stands out for its majestic Renaissance architecture, which elegantly bursts into the Islamic setting of the Alhambra. Its unique circular layout, exceptional for its time, reflects the imperial grandeur and Charles V's desire to mark his presence in the history of Granada.
