Head to Granada and explore the astonishing Alhambra, known as the Palace of the Sultans.
Prepare to be dazzled by the sheer grandeur of this UNESCO World Heritage site, one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the world. The ‘red one’ or ‘red castle’ was built toward the end of Muslim rule in Spain and originated as a military fortress. Marvel at the delicate marble columns and graceful arcades of the interior as your knowledgeable guide talks you through its fascinating history.
The Generalife was designed as a summer palace and planted with aromatic flowers to create a peaceful garden for relaxation. Listen for water cascading through the landscape and, as you stroll around, behold the English elms introduced by the Duke of Wellington in 1812.
Once you’ve feasted on the awe-inspiring architecture, it’ll be time to sample some local delicacies. So, relax at a nearby restaurant and enjoy a delicious lunch of provincial flavours.
