The magnificent Alhambra is one of Spain’s most treasured landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This spectacular palace and fortress complex was once home to Moorish sultans and offers a fascinating glimpse into centuries of art, architecture, and history.
The Alhambra is divided into several sections, including the Nasrid Palaces, the Generalife Gardens, and the Alcazaba Fortress. When booking your tickets, make sure to include entry to the Nasrid Palaces — this part is not always included by default.
To make your day even more special, end your visit with dinner at [Name] which is located on a hill overlooking the Alhambra. As the sun sets and the palace glows in golden light.
In the 15th century, after the Catholic Monarchs reconquered Spain and expelled the Moors from Granada, many Moors sought refuge in the hills outside the village of Guadix. There, they began carving homes directly into the soft rock — creating the remarkable cave dwellings that still define the area today.
Today, around 2,000 cave houses remain. While some have been transformed into boutique hotels or bodegas, most are still used as private homes. Thanks to their natural insulation, these caves maintain a comfortable 18°C all year round — pleasantly cool in summer and warm and dry in winter. The cave houses have increased in interest in line with climate change.
The caves of Nerja are declared a cultural heritage site, and are a natural wonder that began to form millions of years ago. The caves were discovered in 1959 by five boys who were up in the mountains looking for bats. The boys found a hole from which bats were coming out and became curious. They went inside and discovered a gigantic cave landscape.
The boys’ discovery is Europe’s largest cave system at 5 km. Various archaeological findings have established that the caves were inhabited as early as 15 – 25,000 years ago. Only a quarter of the caves are open to the public, as the caves are still being explored. The caves can be reached by car or bus to Nerja and then a direct bus to the ”Nerja Cave”. It is important to book your ticket in advance!
