A Private Tour Alhambra designed for individuals, couples or a small group in two types of modalities, in which we highlight the Luxury, where you will visit private spaces and you will have experiences worthy of the monumental complex you visit.
The Alhambra, called AL-Hamra (The Red) by the Muslims, is a palatine city and military fortress built by the Zirid and Nasrid dynasties (11th-15th century). After the surrender of the city, it was the Christian Royal House of the Catholic Monarchs and Emperor Charles V (15th-16th century).
The craftsmen and architects of the Alhambra sought beauty, a true reflection of which are the Generalife Gardens, built between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. It was the country house and summer residence of the Muslim Kings, a place of rest and tranquility and the only garden and agricultural estate of Al-Andalus that has survived to this day.
The Alhambra (1237) and the Generalife (1314), magical places to visit, were declared National Monuments in 1870 and since 1984 have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
