The coach arrived on time and we were on our way to Granada. Lovely city and such an amazing Cathedral. In the afternoon we got taken by a guide around the Alhambra by a lady whose name was Karin. The view from the Fortress to the City below was just amazing. Well organised routine with safety as there first concern to which I was impressed.

At 8.15h we left our meeting point with the bus. We arrived in Granada around 10.00h and got to spend 3,5h in the city center wandering around (free time). Our guide Antonia was very nice although and made sure we followed the schedule. Her English wasn’t always 100% understandable but it was fine for the amount of explaining she did. At 16.00h, we were welcomed at the Alhambra by our local guide Lara with whom we had a lovely experience. She showed us around every part of the monument, with interesting stories & photo tips. Added benefit: fast lane access due to her guide pass, which you wouldn’t have visiting individually. Watch out though, it’s a tour of 5km so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. We arrived back in Malaga around 21.00h, tired but happy!

Great tour, really shone a light on the history and many interesting details (although even the tour guide admitted, there is lots more to see than can be covered in one day - already planning a return visit!) Also worth mentioning the added benefit of skipping all the queues, so no waiting in line! Highly recommend.
