Private Moorish Granada from Malaga: Alhambra, Albaicin & Lunch
Overview
The only private tour dedicated entirely to Moorish Granada, guided by a licensed official guide and art historian who reads Arabic and brings the poems carved on the Alhambra walls to life.
Explore the Alhambra, the palatine city of the Nasrid sultans, then discover the hidden Moorish Granada most visitors never see: the Darro river, the 11th-century Arab baths of El Banuelo, the Nasrid hospital, the Albaicin and the palace of Dar al-Horra, ending at the old silk market and the Nasrid merchants’ inn. A Moroccan or Lebanese lunch is included.
We pick you up at your hotel or apartment between Fuengirola and Malaga, in a comfortable private car or van. Cruise passengers are picked up at Muelle 1 or Plaza de la Marina, always back on time for their ship.
This is not a group tour: the pace and the stories are all tailored to you.
