Alhambra, Granada

I've seen the Alhambra Palace from Plaza St. Nicolas many times before. Most of my photos of the palace are from there, but another thing is to experience it from the inside with a ticket and a guide and capture it from the "inside". The visit this time was slightly cold, but I think March-April still are the best months to visit as it's not too crowded and neither too hot. The historical point of view was very interesting, but the architecture even more unbelievable.

If you only do one thing on a visit to Spain, this might arguably be it. The architecture and detail-work are stunning, pictures cannot do the reflective pools justice, and the gardens are wonderful even in winter. The iconic views will likely be crowded, but there are plenty of other places well worth looking at. (Get your tickets ahead of time.)

Great castle and great views, but unfortunately everlasting waiting lines. I suggest checking and making an appointment with at least 2-3 months before your visit. You can only see the Palace of Justice if you don't have a ticket.

Alhambra is an special and espectacular royal place, it was building very carefully taking care of all the details to become in a jewel of the World architecture. It was worth every penny that you paid for the ticket, YOU NEED TO KNOW that you have to be able to spend the whole day there, with a suuuuper comfortable pair of shoes and clothes, food and water. It's a very good plan without kids because you walk a lot and I think They do not enjoy that plan. Is of course a must see in Granada and I think Spain.

I went to Alhambra in January 2017, with my parents and my 7 yo Son, and it's a visit I strongly recommend! I also recommended the guided tour, as there are so many details, stories and historical facts that alone you would miss something for sure. Our guide Mica, knew a lot, was very uplifting and made the visit even more enjoyable! Magical place, a marvel for architects! Tip: buy your tkts in advance and wear comfortable shoes!
