Tips to the Alhambra

Wednesday, March 24, 2010


At the end of last year 2009, my friends and I had a "close year" holiday in Spain (see my stories of Madrid, Seville, Cordoba, Alhambra-Granada, and Barcelona) . For this time, I share some tips and tricks that can be carried out before and during a visit at the Alhambra, the famous one in Spain. I hope this can be useful for you all.
  • Tickets cost EUR 13 applies to all, there are actually a special discount students under 30 years old, but there is a special price for student, however there I could not apply this, because 'perhaps' only for Spain student.
  • If you do not have time to book online at Alhambra official website, try to come as early as possible, at least one hour before the ticket locket open (the locket open at 8:00), because if not, will get stuck with a very long queue, and will likely not get a quota in that day because the quota was exhausted visitor tickets, especially on Sundays or public holidays.

Then we took public transport No.33 to Cathedral stop and take minibus Alhambra No.30 or 32 from Plaza Isabel La Catolica to the main entrance of Alhambra.We stayed in the hostel "Posada Dona Lupe" just in front of Alhambra Gate. Therefore we can wake up early, then take the first line to buy the ticket, otherwise we can stuck on the long queue. The ticket cost 13 EUR, and you got a map of Alhambra complex.

Entering the Alhambra area seemed to be in paradise and brought us to feel the triumph of Islam in the past. Alhambra monument complex consists of several parts, which Charles V Palace, Medina, Alcazaba, Rauda, Nasrid Palace and Generalife, which covers an area of approximately 142,000 square meters. Before entering the Nasrid Palace, we have seen the building of Charles V Palace was built in 1533 after the city of Granada was taken by the Catholic King in 1492. In the opposite, there is Alcazaba fortress and royal military training camp. But to save time, we just continue directly to Nasrid Palace, as the favorite one, and also there is a time
