Wonders of Our Visit to the Alhambra

Last Sunday, we visited the Alhambra of Granada, an unforgettable experience filled with fascinating stories and architectural beauty. We gathered at 9:45 AM in the hotel lobby, making sure we had everything we needed to access the monument. We headed towards the entrance, which fortunately was only a few meters from our hotel. The location couldn't have been better. The Alhambra of Granada is an ancient Arab palace known for its impressive design and intricate details in every room and garden.

During the visit, we toured the Nasrid Palaces, where every corner tells a story of the dynasty that once ruled the city. We walked through the gigantic Generalife gardens, enjoying the tranquility and all the fountains the Arabs installed. We also visited the Alcazaba, the military fortress, which offers panoramic views of Granada and the Sierra Nevada. Our students spent a few minutes there taking souvenir photos.

Our guide explained the historical and cultural importance of each section of the complex, transporting us to the city's era of splendor. The visit culminated with a tour of the Courtyard of the Lions, famous for its elegant columns and central fountain, which is supported by lion statues, hence its name.

This visit to the Alhambra not only allowed us to appreciate the magnificent Islamic architecture but also to understand its influence on Spanish history. With each step, we understood why the Alhambra of Granada is a symbol of culture in Andalusia and Spain.
