What to expect

Discover the origins of the hydraulic system that provided water for the Alhambra and the city of Granada. During this private tour you will walk around the old Moorish fortress, paying particular attention to the system of canals that transported water in the gardens of the Alhambra and Granada.

You will learn how the Acequia Real canal system helped the flourishment of the agriculture and the construction of gardens and fountains that adorned the Alhambra; the guide will show you all the canals and the engineering behind their construction.

The guide will take you around the Court of the Sultana's cypress tree, where you'll admire the water fountains that were created during the Islamic rule of Granada, before walking around the Alcazaba and admiring the impressive view of the city.
