What to expect

There's more to Granada than the Alhambra, and that's what this tour is all about. You'll visit the Palace of Charles V and explore the Moorish-era Albaicin district. And you'll also get the chance to search for souvenirs in the Alcaiceria bazaar before visiting the Royal Chapel.

First up is the Renaissance Palace of Charles V, which is in the Alhambra complex, but was built 35 years after the fall of the Emirate. Stroll around its colonnaded courtyard before heading to the Albaicin, on the hill on the opposite bank of the River Darro. Its winding streets of traditional Moorish homes often offer amazing vistas of the Alhambra.

Next, amble through the Arabesque Alcaiceria, where you can grab Moorish-style trinkets such as pashminas, lanterns and earthenware. Rounding off the day is a visit to the Royal Chapel, the mausoleum of the Catholic Kings, Ferdinand and Isabella, who conquered Granada from the Moors. Behind its Gothic façade, lies a wealth of treasures.

Full-day guided tour of Ronda with Reservatauro Ranch visit

Heading into the hills from the Costa del Sol, you'll come across one of the most storied medieval towns in the region – the one and only Ronda. Spend the whole day exploring its cobbled alleys and discover its history and local traditions, including a visit to a bull ranch. Marilo, one of our expert local guides, says ‘Ronda's famous bridge is still known as Puente Nuevo, even though construction began over 250 years ago. It joins the two parts of Ronda – the new town, “Mercadillo”, and the old town, “La Ciudad”.'After arrival, you'll set off on a guided walk around the town, checking out its churches, mansions and the Puente Nuevo. This magnificent stone bridge straddles the 100-metre-deep Tajo gorge that bisects the town, serving up dizzying views. Ernest Hemingway was a frequent visitor – so much so, there's a sculpture of him, opposite one of Orson Welles, another Ronda aficionado – in Blas Infante park. Then, you'll enjoy more views over the ravine from the Casa Don Bosco, a modernist mansion perched above the gorge, as well as a glass of wine.You'll round off at the Reservatauro Ranch – set in a biosphere reserve filled with centuries-old oak trees, it's a perfect habitat for breeding Spanish bulls and Andalusian horses. Learn more about the history of Spanish bulls and Andalusian horses, in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. You'll stroll through wooded pasturelands studded with oaks and get to meet these lovingly cared-for animals, which are free to roam the vast ranch.
