The reason we are here in Granada is the same reason most people visit Granada – to see the Alhambra.<\/p>\n

\n

The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex. Declared a World Heritage Site, it is the most visited monument in Spain. It consists of a defensive side, the Alcazaba, the Nasrid Palaces and the Generalife Gardens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We had tried to book tickets online prior to our arrival in Granada but everything appeared sold-out until June. However, it turns out the campsite has access to a different allocation of tickets and we were able to book a visit with about 2 days notice. Beware that other campers here had booked with other tourist outfits and in some cases had paid more than twice the face value of the tickets.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our tickets cost around 15 Euros each and the campsite charges a 5 Euro booking fee. They also source us a taxi to the Alhambra for a pre-arranged price of 10 Euros and this was more convenient than taking the 2 buses. After the visit we walked down from the Alhambra, had lunch in town and caught an early evening bus back to Camping Reina Isabel in La Zubia.<\/div>\n
