Is a Tour of the Alhambra Worth It?
Heading to Granada and wondering if a tour of the Alhambra is worth it? The short answer is yes. What surprised me most was the sheer size of the complex and how much walking it takes to cross it, and by hour three I was glad someone else was deciding where we went next. Here’s…
