Spectacular old buildings, gardens and views. Cobble stones limit access to all Alhambra.
The best bits of the Alhambra were:
1- The spectacular views of Granada and the surrounding area. You can see all of the historic buildings and the mountainous landscape in every direction from this high point.
2- Nasrid Palace. The beautiful mosaic and carved tiles, mouldings, and ceilings were the highlight for me. Ive never seen so much detail and variety.
3- The tranquility of the Generalife garden with their trees, herbs and wildflowers.
4- I also had a good ham and cheese sandwich and a Colacao (like hot chocolate) at the cafe on Plaza de los Aljibes de la Alambra.
The worst bits were:
1- Driving over the cobble stones and dirt ground on the mobility scooter. It was a rough ride in lots of places.
2- The crowds later in the day made moving around while keeping sufficient distance for Covid difficult and stressful. The earlier you get there the better for both temperature and crowds. They were controlling the flow of people through the Nasrid Palace so it wasn’t stressful in there.
3- The frustrating lack of access where there could be ramps or covered cobbles.
