Beschrijving
Explore the Alhambra, follow the course of two ancient rivers, and uncover the layers of three intertwined worlds—Islamic, Christian, and Jewish—that still pulse through the city.
The experience begins in the monumental surroundings of the Alhambra, walking along its walls, historic gates, towers, and viewpoints that reveal how this fortress dominated Granada for centuries. You wander through open spaces filled with history and step into the imposing Palace of Charles V, a Renaissance masterpiece whose architecture contrasts with the Nasrid legacy that surrounds it.
From there, you descend toward the city following the course of two essential rivers, the Darro and the Genil, whose waters have shaped Granada’s life since Andalusi times. Along the way, you uncover the traces of three intertwined worlds—Islamic, Christian, and Jewish—visible in neighborhoods, temples, legends, and corners that still preserve their memory.
The tour concludes at the Royal Chapel, a solemn space where the Catholic Monarchs rest. Among marble, ironwork, and soft filtered light, you contemplate the tombs that symbolize the end of one era and the beginning of another, bringing to a close a journey that reveals the deepest essence of Granada.
