The Alhambra Palace in Spain

When people talk about Spanish palaces, they might think of the Royal Palace in Madrid. However, those who have been to Spain would know that the Alhambra Palace is the one truly worth visiting. Located in the small town of Granada in southern Spain, the Alhambra Palace was left behind from the period when Spain was ruled by the Arab Moors. For someone from East Asia, who is completely unfamiliar with the Arab world, visiting for the first time is truly overwhelming. The palace is situated on a hill, offering a panoramic view of the entire area below. Make a special trip to Granada to see the Alhambra. I've been there three times! And I would still want to go back if I get the chance. 🤣 Additionally, one of the unique features of Granada is that you get free tapas when you order wine or drinks.

The Home of Alhambra Palace

While the alhambra palace is the main highlight of a Granada tour for most tourists. I, having stayed and experienced much more in the form of day trips and other sights in town, would even recommend alhambra for a longer than the usual night or two. For instance, you should definitely visit St. Nicholas, it gives an amazing view of the city and one of the most romantic sites in Europe. How would you like to see a flamenco show inside a cave? Yes, I did that in Granada. Walk through the hills opposite the Alhambra. This gives stunning views of the moorish castle and surrounding areas. Also, these hills have some beautiful little streets, and tiny little plazas with tapas bars, street musicians and dogs.You could fall in love with Spain walking through these hills, and the best place to be at sunset, is right at the top. Lastly, Granada's location allows you the luxury of easy access to rest of Andalusia. The epic scenery, the good food and so many options is all the more reason to stay in Granada. #myhiddengems #europe #summerdestinations #granada #cherryblossom2024 #100waysoftravel #spain

Alhambra Palace | A Love Letter to Moorish Architecture

"No city is like Granada, with its elegance and smile, its shimmering Eastern charm, spreading under the clear sky." - Victor Hugo Colorful Granada is located in the Andalusia region in southern Spain. The collision and fusion of Roman, Moorish, and Jewish cultures in the river of history have given birth to the brilliant culture unique to Granada. Here is also the filming location for "Game of Thrones" and the Korean drama "Memories of the Alhambra". The Alhambra turns stones into poetry, a love letter to Moorish architecture, and a magnificent paradise on earth. The Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain is magnificent, serving as both a palace and a castle, as well as a well-constructed garden and a military fortress during the "Reconquista". Built 700 years ago, this red palace still occasionally makes headlines in European newspapers, and is considered the most perfect architectural model from ancient Rome to the present day, adding a unique charm to the European continent.

Magnificent Alhambra in Granada

Granada by Night ✨🌌

Granada by night - another exceptional trip to Granada! it’s only an hour or so away from Malaga and the Mijas region and I strongly recommend anyone that is in the area of Mijas to take a day and night trip here! There is much to see and do here, including bars, restaurants, historical places to visit and the shopping centre on the outskirts is also very useful! Having been to Granada by day, by night is just as spectacular!

[Europe][Spain] Granada and the famous Alhambra

Granada is home to the famous monument Alhambra. The Alhambra is vast in size and I recommend allowing sufficient time. There are also a lot of other tourist attractions in Granada. I recommend Monasterio Cartuja Granada. It is a bit further away from the city centre, not as crowded as most tourist attractions, and the architecture is very fine.

The Alhambra

The Alhambra was a place, a citadel, fortress, and the home of Nasrid sultans, high government officials, servants of the court and elite soldiers (from the 13th to the 14th century). Today, the monument is divide into four main areas: The Palaces, the military zone or Alcazaba, the city or Medina and the agricultural estate of the Generalife. All of these areas are surrounded by woods, gardens and orchards. #passionpassport

A wonderful trip to Alhambra, Granada

Located jn Granada, Spain, Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex. It has always been our dream destination as it is one of the most famous palaces of the historic Islamic world. We flew in to Malaga and took a 2-hour bus to Granada for a day trip. Granada is smaller but more touristy than Malaga so the price of accommodation is slightly more expensive. However, if you want to spend a few days exploring Granada, it will be better to stay here. Do check out the official website of The Alhambra before visiting so you can be sure of the opening hours. It is also important to make up your mind of what do you want to visit, as there are different prices for different places (fortress or place or garden). The combo tickets are reasonable if you have plenty of time in hands. #bucketlistreboot #passionpassport

The Beauty of Alhambra!

The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It is one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic Islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture. It reflects the tradition of Moorish architecture developed over previous centuries. It is characterized by the use of the courtyard as a central space and basic unit around which other halls and rooms were organized. Courtyards typically had water features at their center, such as a reflective pool or a fountain. Decoration was focused on the inside of the building and was executed primarily with tile mosaics on lower walls and carved stucco on the upper walls. Geometric patterns, vegetal motifs, and Arabic inscriptions were the main types of decorative motifs. Additionally, "stalactite"-like sculpting, known as muqarnas, was used for three-dimensional features like vaulted ceilings Getting There - You can take one of the red minibuses called Alhambra Bus, routes C30 or C32. They leave every 8-12 minutes from Isabel Católica Square (Columbus monument). Attractions - The architecture of the Nasrid palaces Hotels - Many hotels to suit all budget can be found nearby Food & Restaurants - Many F&B outlet & restaurants can be found nearby Shopping - Many shops selling souvenirs can be found nearby. #alhambra #granada #andalusia #spain

The fascinating Alhambra Alhambra is the royal palace of the Granada kingdom established by the medieval Moors in Spain. Arabic means red fort. After the Moors were expelled from Spain, the building began to be abandoned. Later, with the support of Ferdinand VII, the architects Jose Contreras and other long-term repairs and reconstructions restored the original features. We booked tickets for the Nasri Palace at 2 pm (you must make an appointment, otherwise you will be queued at 6 o'clock in the morning, after all, there is a limit for the number of people in each time period). At 12 o'clock, you have already arrived at the scenic spot, thinking about it. Let's go to other free places to see. As a result, neither the Summer Palace nor the Fort Akasaba will be allowed. Only the Carlos V Palace can. So booked 2 tickets, all paid attractions must be 2 o'clock before entering. Although Nasirs Palace, Akasaba Fort and Summer Palace are separate attractions, as long as they meet the visit time, it is completely OK to go out from one toll attraction and then go to another toll attraction. Remember that each toll attraction cannot be used. Going in again, the staff at the door were very careful to check the ticket. Introduce some personal favorite spots. The design of the palace must first mention: How did the glass not be used in ancient times? The Moors used a very laborious but extravagant way to cut out a honeycomb window! If a person quietly stays in a closed space for a whole day, watching the sun cast the shape of the light hole on a dim roof or wall, moving with the sun's trajectory, it is good to feel the passage of time. Experience. The myrtle atrium is enclosed by marble columns, with a shallow, flat rectangular reflecting pool and a beautiful central fountain. Two rows of myrtle hedges lined up on the side of the pool, which is also the source of the name of the atrium. The lion atrium is said to be the place where Alfonso XI and his lover have fun, and she is legendary the most beautiful woman in Spain. From the castle you can look out over the Sierra Nevada. The Henry Lofer Garden consists of two groups of buildings connected by a canal atrium, all of which are fairly stable, simple and simple. This means that when the king retires, he longs for the garden to provide an intimate and tranquil atmosphere. There are only some decorative patterns of stucco, which are not too exaggerated, but still show exquisiteness and taste. The summer garden is very beautiful and offers panoramic views of the palace. In addition, it is recommended to go to the Nicholas Lookout to enjoy the palace at sunset, beautiful!

The Alhambra Palace is located in Granada and is a must-see for travel in Spain. I won't say this before I go, but after I finish, I am sure to say: I won't regret it! ! ! After writing the travel notes, many friends have just commented on the "Reminiscences of the Alhambra". Although I have not seen this drama, I must strongly enrich the palace! Before I went online, I checked the Alhambra. There were very few photos taken. I didn't expect much from this attraction, but it was the most amazing sight in Spain. Ticket prices are also very conscience compared to other palaces and famous attractions. is also a medieval Islamic building, even for me who have been to India, it was amazing by this palace. Going to Spain strongly recommends that you must go to the sights, it is worth spending a day in it. It can be said that if you have been to the A Palace, then you will go to other palaces to be floating clouds... Address: Calle Real de la Alhambra

Many street performers play and sing here with their backs to the Alhambra, which is also a beautiful picture. 💗Other tips: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so keep warm. We drove directly up the mountain. Not far from the top of the mountain, you will see a parking lot sign. Try to park in the parking lot because there is basically no place to park at the top of the mountain.

The Alhambra Gardens: A feast for the eyes.

The Alhambra Gardens in Granada, Spain, are an integral part of the Alhambra Palace and are famous for their unique design and exquisite layout. On September 24, 2024, we visited this beautiful garden. Walking through the garden, it felt like we had traveled back in time to the exotic Moorish era. The grandeur and beauty of the garden made me feel like I was in a paradise, forgetting all my worldly troubles. After the visit, I felt: The garden design was heavily influenced by Islamic culture and Persian garden design, reflecting the pursuit of natural beauty and superb garden design skills. The garden design is full of symmetry. Through the careful layout of pools, fountains, and plants, a sense of harmony, balance, and depth is created. The garden is full of pools and fountains. The clear water flows from high to low, passing through carefully designed canals, adding vitality to the garden!

The pinnacle of Moorish culture | Granada.

The name "Granada" means "pomegranate" in Spanish, so the pomegranate has become the emblem and symbol of Granada, and can be seen everywhere in the city. The name of the city may come from the pomegranate trees that grow everywhere in the city, or it may be another transliteration of the name Karnattah left by the Arabs. ⛺【Must-visit】： 1. The Alhambra is the palace of the Granada Kingdom established by the Moors in Spain in the Middle Ages. After the Moors were expelled from Spain in 1492, the building began to be abandoned. It was not until 1828 that long-term repairs and reconstruction began, and the original appearance was restored. The Alhambra is divided into five groups of buildings, the most essential part of which is the Nasrid Palace. Climbing up the watchtower at the westernmost end, you can overlook the entire city of Granada centered on the cathedral. 2. Albaicin is an Arab-style area in Granada, Andalusia, which retains narrow and winding Moorish streets from the Middle Ages. It was listed as a World Heritage Site together with the Alhambra. The Alhambra has a clear view of the entire Albaicin area. The St. Nicholas Watchtower is the highest point in the area and the best place to enjoy the entire area. 3. Granada Cathedral is one of the oldest and earliest churches established on the peninsula in Western Christianity. Granada Cathedral was built on the foundation of the original mosque. It was built in 1523 and was not completed until 1704. Originally planned to build a Gothic cathedral, but changed to Renaissance style during construction. Every brick and tile in the church reveals the architectural imprint of different periods, the decoration details are subtle, and the fusion with colored glass is even more unique. 🛬【Travel Tips】： Many people come to Granada because of the Alhambra, but it has a rich cultural heritage and is worth a visit. It is recommended to stay in Granada for one night, and you can also visit Seville and Ronda nearby. 🧡【Tips】： You must! Must! Buy tickets for the Alhambra in advance

Catch sunsets at Alhambra Palace

#100WaysOfTravel It's a must-stay hotel recommended by a friend when you come to Granada. It's a little expensive, but the view is invincible. The most important scenic spot is invincible, right next to the Alhambra Palace, on the mountain. If you are tired of shopping, you can go back to sleep and continue shopping. But if you don't have a chance to stay, you can also have afternoon tea in their bar and watch the sunset. There is ice cream made by gin tonic in their bar, and it was quite delicious for the first time. After reading the history of this restaurant, many celebrities and dignitaries have lived there, but after writing a bunch of foreign names, I know Brad Pitt [spit]. Of course, there is also a disadvantage that the hotel is on the mountain. You have to go down the mountain to eat and go to the city. There are stairs nearby. It takes about ten minutes to go down the mountain. If you go down, you will be in the city. Moreover, Granada is very cheap. Once we went to the opposite hill for dinner, it only cost 7 euros. The taxi was called directly at the door of the hotel, and the software was not used.

The Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain

The Alhambra Palace is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture located in Granada, Spain, preserving the splendor of the medieval Islamic dynasty. The palace is set against the backdrop of the Andalusian mountains and was the center of the most powerful Islamic kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula for centuries. The interior of the palace is filled with intricate Arabic tiles, beautiful gardens, and complex patterned carvings. The Patio de los Leones (Court of the Lions) in the Nasrid Palace is particularly famous for its delicacy and elegance. The fountain surrounded by marble lions showcases the essence of Islamic architecture. One of the most impressive aspects of the Alhambra is the view. From here, you can overlook the Albaicín district, with a panoramic view of Granada and the distant Sierra Nevada mountains. At sunset, the palace is bathed in a red glow, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairy tale. Traveling here allowed me to deeply feel the glory of the past Islamic kingdom and the cultural richness of Granada. The Alhambra Palace is a special place where you can experience the intersection of art and culture spanning centuries.
