No other city exemplifies the spirit of Medieval Islam in Spain as tangibly as Granada! In 1492, the city was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs, but its Moorish aura never faded out; the “comfortable Orient”, as romantic travellers would call it. Let’s discover the stories of stellar landmarks, such as the Alhambra palace, and many hidden gems.
Enjoy a hassle-free walking tour of Granada, the capital city of the province of Granada and an exhilarating visit to Granada’s most dynamic attraction, the Alhambra Palace. This fascinating combo self-guided tour will help you follow, at your own pace, the riveting journey of the Alhambra Palace as well as the city’s most compelling and charming corners.
* * Ticket/entrance fee to the museums or other sites is not included.

The Nasrid city
On the corner of the plaza and Salamanca street the original Bib Rambla was once located, a medieval archway that was demolished in 1884. From here travellers gained access to the city from 1230 until the Christian conquest. Granada was then ruled by the rich Nasrid dynasty. The Arabs had arrived in Spain in 711 to found an empire that by the 10th century had become a powerful Caliphate with Cordoba as a capital city, the so-called al-Andalus, after which the region is currently named. The Empire fell apart a century later and smaller kingdoms tried to resist the advance of Christian armies from the North. The last of those Muslim kingdoms was Granada. With silk and other goods flowing from the East and with the wealth of the land, the Nasrids managed to hold strong and reign for over 250 years.
