You will then head towards Granada. Let’s start visiting the Generalife palace, recreational area of the sultans, and its garden. Then pass by the Franciscan Parador Hotel that was a convent built in the 15. century. Next visit the Church with some important images of the 17.th and 18.th century.

Admire the Palace of Charles V, an awesome Christian palace with Renaissance  style. Wander along its military fortress and finish visiting the renowned Nasrid Palaces: Mexuar, Comares & Lion’s palace while listening to stories, legends and important facts about the Alhambra & Granada from the hand of the guide.

The walk through the palaces and the gardens takes about 2.5 hours.
