There is a lot of information on the internet about what you can find in the Alhambra, but I am going to ask you an important question.
Did you know that the Alhambra is not just a monument but a monumental complex?
It is important to bear this in mind because many visitors who come for the first time believe that they are only going to visit a few palaces, when in reality it is quite different.
Which areas of the Alhambra will we visit on our guided tour?
This well-preserved monumental complex is divided into two different hills:
Alhambra. It is located on Sabika Hill and covers an area of approximately 260,000 square meters. This palatine city is organized into three enclosed zones or districts.
We will visit all of them on our private tour to discover their secrets and details that are not covered in history classes. These are the citadel, the medina, and the palaces. Their functions were as follows:
- Alcazaba was a military district.
- Medina was where artisans, merchants, and servants lived.
- The three Nasrid palaces are Mexuar, Comares, and Patio de los Leones.
The gardens of the Generalife. They are located on the Cerro del Sol hill and cover an area of 400,000 square meters.
During our private tour of the Alhambra, we will pass through this beautiful paradise or “almunia.” This Arabic word means country house. It was used for recreation and agricultural production.
The Generalife remains productive and continues to use the original irrigation system.
We will enjoy its beautiful gardens with all five senses as we discover its fascinating history.
As you can see after reading this, in order to enjoy this beautiful monumental complex, you need to plan your time well and decide on your route if you want to see and enjoy the whole complex. This is especially important because visits are based around a specific schedule for entering the Nasrid palaces.
