The tour begins on a sun-washed terrace where the stonework of the Alhambra meets the cool breath of the Sierra Nevada. Guides lead small groups through courtyards where water channels cut clean lines across marble and light pools in carved arches, and the city of Granada unfurls below like an urban map of layered histories.
