A city with history located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The cultural riches of Granada with influences from the Moors, Catholics, and Jews make this city in Spain into an important cultural centre with Moorish rule spanning 800 years of occupation. Granada's role gradually increased within the Moorish realm and eventually became a kingdom with the stunning Alhambra palace. In 1492, the city was reconquered by the Catholic kings (Ferdinand and Isabel), due to which the Moors and Jews had to convert to Catholicism or flee the country. Slowly but surely, this caused the city to fall into economic and cultural decay for several centuries. We start the day with a private guided tour of Alhambra and the gardens of the Generalife (UNESCO World Heritage Site) where you discover one of the best- preserved monuments of Islamic architecture in Spain. The rest of the day you are free to explore more beautiful places and to try the Granada tapas which are known for serving free tapas with every drink. The tour guide will organize a place to have dinner together to celebrate the last evening of the journey. Stay: Casa del Capital Nazari.
