The Alhambra is divided into 3 parts: Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife. When you buy the tickets on the official website you can choose a time to visit the Nasrid Palaces because only this place has a specific schedule. The Nasrid Palaces are located in the middle part of the Alhambra, therefore I usually start 30mint. before visiting the Palaces, like that the tour is easier and less tiring.
Here's an example: If you buy the tickets and choose 9:30 a.m. to visit the Nasrid Palaces, we would start the tour at 9:00 visiting first the Alcazaba, then the Palaces and after that the others parts left.

About Tour Guide Nacho M.
Welcome to Granada, everyone! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Nacho, and I'm not just your average tour guide – I'm a Granada native with a deep love for this city and its rich history.
As an Official Tourist Guide of Granada, I've had the privilege of studying the intricate tapestry of Andalusian art history, focusing on the architectural marvels that spanned from the 7th to the 15th century. Granada, as the last Arabic capital of this period, holds a special place in my heart, and I'm excited to share its wonders with you.
But it's not just history that I'm passionate about – I'm also fluent in Spanish, Chinese, English, Italian, and French. So, feel free to converse with me in any of these languages! As Nelson Mandela once said, 'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.'
Beyond languages and history, I'm an energetic person who loves staying active through sports like cycling, taekwondo, skiing, running, and calisthenics. Being a tour guide isn't just about sharing facts – it's about being physically and mentally prepared to handle any situation while ensuring everyone has a fantastic time.
Granada isn't just a city to me; it's my home, and I'm honored to share its charm with you. As Antonio Machado beautifully put it, 'Every city has a special charm, Granada has its own and all the other cities' charm.'
So, let's embark on this journey together and create unforgettable memories in this enchanting city. Thank you for choosing Granada, and let's make the most of our time here!
