Moorish heritage - Granada is the
essence of poetry. Federico Garcia
Lorca, the universal Granada writer,
immortalised his city in his art. Once
visited, it is not difficult to understand
the well-known verse, which reads:
"There is nothing like the pain of being
blind in Granada".
This fabulous city preserves all the
enchantment and mystery of eight
centuries of Moorish occupation, which
lasted until the re-conquest by Catholic
Kings in 1492.
The Alhambra, a castle complex of
worldwide fame, they say it's the eight'
miracle of the world!
5. Day 1
Check-in at Hotel Hospes Palacio de los Patos,
5* deluxe
http://www.hospes.com/granada-
palacio_patos/default-en.html
Hospes Palacio de los Patos represents a
suggestive combination of two buildings
that look at each other with complicity:
The Patos Palace, a looked after
conversion of a 19th Century palace, with
classical and industrial architecture, and
proclaimed of Cultural interest by
UNESCO, and a new building, with a
mixture of deepness and clarity behind a
majestic and subtle alabaster latticework.
The Palacio offers 22 rooms with
contemporary design while conserving the
original décor of this historic property. The
new building offers 20 rooms also all
decorated in contemporary design.
The hotel spa includes a sauna, Turkish
bath and indoor pool. Massage and various
beauty treatments are available. The
hotel’s Senzone Restaurant serves healthy
cuisine, using only fresh ingredients.
6. Day 1 – evening
20.00h visit to Alhambra in exclusivity
Duration 1,5 hours, with english
speaking guide and audiophone
It was originally constructed as a small
fortress in 889 and then largely ignored
until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt
in the mid-11th century by the Moorish
emir of the Emirate of Granada, who built
its current palace and walls. It was
converted into a royal palace in 1333 by
the Sultan of Granada.
Alhambra was extended by the different
Muslim rulers who lived in the complex.
However, each new section that was
added followed the consistent theme of
"paradise on earth". Column arcades,
fountains with running water, and
reflecting pools were used to add to the
aesthetic and functional complexity.
7. Day 1 – evening

Located at city centre of town. Enjoy typical

years, making it one of the oldest cities

culminated in the nomination of Málaga
as a candidate for the 2016 European
Capital of Culture. The internationally

Picasso, Hebrew poet and Jewish
philosopher Solomon Ibn Gabirol and
actor Antonio Banderas were born in
Málaga.

The old historic centre of Málaga reaches
the harbour to the south and is

The Moors left posterity the dominating

which is connected to the Alcazaba, the
lower fortress and royal residence. Both
were built during the Taifa period (11th
century) and extended during the Nasrid
period (13th and 14th centuries).
We will visit the cathedral of Málaga,
constructed between 1528 and 1782 and
was planned with Renaissance
architectural ideals but there was a
shortfall of building funds and it was
finished in Baroque style. Although it was
never finished as the second bell tower is
still missing today.
And also we see the Roman theatre,
which dates from the 1st century BC and
was rediscovered in 1951.

unpublished works of contemporary art,
sculptures and installations designed from

different styles that characterize the
evolution of twentieth century art.
