Enter the Alhambra at first light before the day-trippers arrive, guided by a licensed Arabist through the jewel-box Nasrid Palaces and the Generalife gardens. The most romantic fortress in Europe, utterly to yourself.
What to expect
A private car collects you from the port at 06:30. Your guide narrates eight centuries of Moorish, Christian, and Renaissance history as you move through honeycomb stucco arches and mirror-pool courtyards. The Generalife rose gardens are at their most fragrant in the cool of the morning. You're back aboard well before midday.
