This world famous palace of Spain is among the most visited places throughout Spain and it is therefore one of the monuments in Spain that you cannot afford to miss out on. It got its name Alhambra which stands for red from the reddish brown bricks used to construct its outer walls. It is located in the most beautiful natural place in Granada with snow capped summits for its backdrop. It is near the Sierra Nevada Mountain and the Darra River making a great location for a Spanish tour or holiday.

Things to see on the palace

Just like any other monument or building in Spain, there are parts which cannot be missed while visiting the Alhambra palace. It mainly is divided into four parts including Palacios Nazaries, Alcazaba, Generalife and Palacio de Carlos. The Alcazaba which is a castle happens to be the palace’s oldest part having been put up in 13th century. The watch tower Torre de la Vela is where the panoramic view of the city can be enjoyed while Generalife is a wonderful garden of a palace.

Other features of the palace which are worth checking out on your tour include the museums de la Alhambra and the Fine Arts. They are both within Palacio de Carlos V. The Salon de Embajadores has impressive embroideries and extraordinary art making it another feature that is worth checking out. It is a bog saloon once used by the ambassadors and the kingdom. Also worth seeing are the Patio de los Leones, the Women Tower and the Old Hamman, Albacin and the Kingdom Chapel.

It is important for all visitors to know that the tickets to this beautiful palace can be very limited. This is as a result of issues to do with the conservation and therefore only a certain number is allowed to visit every day. It is important that you book your ticket a day before leaving for the site to ensure that you manage to explore the palace well. It is a popular palace that receives huge numbers of visitors and therefore to avoid the long queues, it is advisable to get the tickets in advance.

There could be restrictions to certain parts of the Alhambra and it is therefore important to check on the schedules given so that you visit the palace when you can enjoy most of the areas that are of interest within it.
