Morning Exploration – Alhambra Exteriors and Charles V Palace
Start your day with a morning pickup from Motril port and a comfortable transfer to the Alhambra. Here, you’ll enjoy a private visit to its exteriors, starting at the Justice Gate, one of the four historic gates of the Alhambra. You’ll then enjoy an amazing view of Granada’s oldest neighborhood, Albaicin, from the Alhambra complex, followed by a visit to the Wine Gate and Charles V Palace. On days other than Monday (note: museums in Spain typically close on Mondays), we’ll visit the Museum of the Alhambra, renowned for its collection of Nasrid Art, which includes the Quran, pottery, and original windows and doors. Stroll down the main street of the Alhambra, “Royal Street,” and visit the San Francisco Parador, once the initial burial site of the Catholic Monarchs (now in the Royal Chapel).
Afternoon Exploration – Granada’s Historic City Center
In the afternoon, explore Granada’s historic city center, rich in Moorish, Christian, and Jewish cultural heritage. Highlights include the old silk market (Alcaiceria), originally a Moorish bazaar trading silk and other valuables. Near the Cathedral, you’ll see the Royal Chapel from the outside, the final resting place of Ferdinand and Isabella. Admire the Gothic and Renaissance architecture, adorned with stunning altarpieces, sculptures, and 16th-century artwork. Let our private guide lead the way as you navigate this vibrant city. Plaza Nueva, the bustling center of the historical city, offers a lively social scene and diverse characters.
