Private Alhambra from Motril with the Arabic Inscriptions Translated
Five hours from the moment the car leaves the Port of Motril to the moment it drops you back, with an hour of road at each end and a private guide who works in your language. The detail that sets this one apart is what happens inside the Nasrid Palaces. The walls there are covered in Arabic, and it is not decoration. It is poetry, dynastic statement and religious text, written across the plaster at eye level and above it. On this tour the guide translates the inscriptions as you go, which turns the most photographed rooms in Spain into something you can actually read. The rest of the route covers the Generalife gardens, where the Nasrids built themselves a microclimate on a dry hill, and the Alcazaba, the fortress the royal guard worked from. The Palace of Charles V is the one Catholic building among the Muslim ones, and it looks it. After the Alhambra the car continues into the centre of Granada before turning back for the port. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
