We bought tickets on line and it said to come between 230 and closing. We got there to see the palace at about 245 and they would not let us in. You have to be there at the exact time.

The Alhambra is a must see if you're in Granada. Spend the extra Euros and get the audio tour or you'll just be looking stuff and wondering what the heck you're looking at. We were there in March, before the spring hit. The plants were lifeless and the grass still brown. Try to go when things are in bloom, i've... more
