El Alhambra, Granada

A three hour private tour of the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces and Generalife. Exquisite UNESCO World Heritage site. Home to the Muslim rulers of the Iberian peninsula. Last stronghold before the Catholic King and QueenFerdinand and Isabella regained control of Spain. Isabella from Castile and Ferdinand from Aragon the first monarchs who consolidated power to defeat the Muslims.
The site is impressive. But once inside the throne room of the Nasrid kings (Muslim) the sweep of history overwhelms, knowing that this very room is where Ferdinand and Isabella greeted Columbus financing his voyages to the New World.
I must emphasize to all that a visit to this classic, historic city is a must.
We then checked out of the hotel finding a restaurant with an outdoor terrace across from the Alhambra to have lunch. Sitting beneath a canopy of fragrant citrus trees for a relaxed lunch. Ordering albóndigas caseras con patatas and solomillo a la parrilla a welcomed respite in the warming midday air before embarking on the drive west to Cordoba.Read more
