Alhambra in Granada from Generalife gardens
I had not visited theAlhambra of Granada, without a doubt, one of the greatest monuments that can be seen in Spain.
This is corroborated by the thousands of tourists that every day stroll through the Alhambra, and that in the case of international tourists have become Pomegranate in one of the essential destinations on a trip to our country.
The truth is that in my memory I had a confused view of my previousvisit of the Alhambra, so go back to Pomegranate It was one of the objectives for a long time, though, with the fear that he could let me down when he saw me surrounded by a large influx of visitors.
I have finally had the opportunity to return in a recent getaway.
And he has not let me down at all. What's more, now is when I've met The Alhambra, I have really been able to enjoy it, and in this way confirm that it is one of the most impressive monuments I have ever visited.
From the outset, the Alhambra you will have it present throughout your stay in Pomegranate because its spectacular location on a hill makes you have dozens of perspectives where it will be present.
Courtyard of the Lions in the Alhambra in Granada
If you are fond of photography, as is my case, I anticipate that you will not get tired of photograph the Alhambra almost from anywhere you are in Granada, and especially from the famous Saint Nicholas' lookout in the Albaicín.
When visiting the monument, I remembered that many years ago I felt really overwhelmed by the accumulation of tourists. And now it has not been.
The limitation of 8,000 visitors a day undoubtedly obliges to anticipate the day of visit in advance, but also allows this to be much more pleasant.

In addition, this time it was not high season ... although it seems that the tourist boom in Granada makes almost the whole year "high season".
To get to know this great monument better, I advise you to sign up for aguided tour of the Alhambra, as I did on my trip, it allowed me to discover curiosities from the most prominent corners of the Nasrid dynasty monument.
