As part of our first exploration of Southern Spain, we also made it to Alhambra. It is, indeed, an amazing place! Of course, the star of the Alhambra complex is the Nasrid Palaces, but walking around the complex is also very beautiful. We do need to go back, though, as after visiting the Nasrid Palaces we did not feel that we could see anything as impressive as that was so we skipped Generalife and the fortress 🙂
Here is a map of the Alhambra complex:
And here is a more detailed map of the Nasrid palaces:
