What people are saying about Province of Granada

How to describe the Alhambra? Just magical. This was my 2nd time coming, the 1st as an adult so I was truly able to appreciate the beauty behind the architecture and the history. I went with my husband and he also loved it! You'll have to walk a lot, so prepare yourself for that, but 100% is a must to see the beautiful Alhambra if you go to Granada! Also, to really appreciate it more and understand better the beauty, go with a Guide or choose the Audio Guide at the entrance of the Alhambra.
