Overview
Take a trip to The Alhambra on your Spain Vacation
The Alhambra, situated in Granada, Spain served as the palace and fortress of the Moorish rulers. Its name "Alhambra," meaning "the red" in Arabic, likely stems from the reddish hue of its outer walls built from rammed earth. This architectural marvel features a unique design characterized by quadrangular buildings surrounding a central courtyard. What's fascinating is that subsequent Emirs maintained this style, adding quadrangular rooms interconnected by smaller passages to create a paradise-like atmosphere.
Due to its popularity, the Alhambra attracts throngs of visitors daily, often leading to sold-out tickets weeks or even months in advance. To avoid disappointment, it's advisable to purchase tickets as early as possible.

What do the experts say?
If you are looking for the best time to visit, I would recommend Spring and early Fall. The weather wont be too hot and you will be avoiding the peak season where not only does the temperature rise, but there are lots of crowds.
Be wary that lunch and dinner are taken very late compared to North America! And don't expect to just pop into the shops around midday - most of them shut for a siesta break!
Most people do not know that most regions of Spain have their own language and traditions. This makes visiting Spain such a unique experience - everywhere you go is like visiting a completely new country

Dear Goway Travel Team!
I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run.

What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly.

I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
