Alhambra (Granada Day Trip)

The Alhambra in Granada is the crown jewel of Moorish Spain and one of the most visited monuments in the country. From Malaga it makes a long but rewarding guided day trip, with the carved stucco of the Nasrid Palaces, the water gardens of the Generalife and sweeping views over the city and the Sierra Nevada. Entry is by timed slot and sells out far ahead, so a tour that secures access is the safest bet.
