Description and schedule of services
–
15th of March 2024: private day trip from Málaga to Granada and the Alhambra for 2 pax
–
9am: meet your personal driver at your accommodation in Málaga and be transferred in a modern and comfortable Mercedes vehicle to the Alhambra in Granada.

10:35am: upon arrival to the Alhambra, your driver will leave you in the hands of your personal local guide. Once with your guide, be taken on a private walking tour of this palatial city which is the most exquisite example of the Hispanic-Muslim architecture.

The Alhambra was the city where the Hispanic-Muslim sultans used to live with their army, their court and some selected artisans. Because of this, it has several parts, all of which you will get to visit during your tour while you understand the role that each of them had. Later you will visit the summer palace or Generalife. This is the place where the sultans would go to escape from the hustle and bustle of the Alhambra. It was a place designed for relaxation and contemplation and because of this, it has the most beautiful gardens and some of the nicest views that the city of Granada has to offer.

1:35pm: end of your tour of the Alhambra and free time in the city of Granada for lunch at leisure (we will give you recommendations).

3pm: reconnect with your guide at a previously agreed meeting point to start a private tour of el Albayzin and el Sacromonte. You will start your discovery journey with the quarter of el Albayzin. Located on top of a hill and overlooking the Alhambra. El Albayzín was the part of Granada where regular people would live: people whose social scheme inside the walls of the palatial areas of the Alhambra was rather unclear. This quarter is a UNESCO site and it treasures some of the most beautiful corners and views of the Alhambra that the city of Granada has to offer. Your local host will share the most special ones with you, while you are explained about the architecture and infrastructures that the quarter had in the mediaeval times and of which you will see beautifully preserved evidence.

After el Albayzin, you will be taken to the quarter of el Sacromonte, This hilltop quarter is probably the most unique in Granada. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Alhambra and with a very particular residential architecture of cave houses, el Sacromonte was home to the first gypsy communities that arrived to Granada in the 15th century and who settled down in the area, carving their houses on the rock. You will learn about these communities and about how after some terrible floods, an important part of its original inhabitants had to leave and settle down in other parts of Granada.

6pm: after your tour of El Albayzin and el Sacromonte, be left in the hands of your driver and be driven back to your hotel in Málaga.

7:35pm: arrival to your hotel in Málaga and end of services for the day.
