November-February, open 8:30am-6pm (evening visits Fridays & Saturday, 8pm-9:30pm). March- October, open from 8:30am-8pm (evening visits Fridays and Saturday 10pm-11:30pm).

Concessions are available and there are also certain passes available (see the official website). Note that there are fewer than 7000 tickets available daily - best to book in advance. Site Direction: Located in the city of Granada, Spain along Route E-902/A-44 (Ctra de Granada), around 126 km northwest of Malaga. Buses 30 and 32 travel to the site and the Alhambra is located around 3 km southeast of Carretera de Jaén bus terminal on Ctra de Jaén road. Buses travel from the station to Cordoba (3 hrs), to Malaga (1.5 hrs) and Madrid (6 hrs). Trains run from Granada s Avenida de Andaluces, around 2km west of the site to Madrid (6 hours), Cordoba (4 hours) and Malaga (2.5 hours). Description Calat Alhambra or the Red Fortress in Granada, Spain, is a complex of royal palaces, mosques, baths, shops and other buildings surrounded by an imposing two kilometer fortified wall. Originally established in 1238 by the founder of the Nasrid Dynasty, Muhammad Ibn al Ahmar, it was expanded in the 13th century by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada of the Nasrid Dynasty, who passed the project onto his son and heir, Mohammad V. Mohammed completed the Alhambra in the 14th century, including the Palacio Nazaríes. Thus the Alhambra became the royal residence of the Nasrid emirs or princes until 1492, when it was conquered by the Christians.

2 In fact, Arabic texts show that there was a fortress at the Alhambra from the 9th century and evidence even points to it being inhabited during Roman times, but the work of the Nasrid Dynasty was the first incarnation of the Alhambra fortified palace complex as it is known today. The Alhambra area, known as Albayzin, was also an important stronghold for the eleventh century Zirid Dinasty and for the Andalusians in the twelfth century. Today, the Alhambra is open to the public. Visitors can tour its palaces, including the Palacio Nazaríes and the 16th century Palace of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. The Alcazaba or citadel is another highlight of the Alhambra, this being the main element of the complex s fortifications. The Alhambra is centred on two main courtyards, the Court of the Lions and the Court of Myrtles, the former with a fountain and the latter with a long pool. Its beautiful Generalife gardens and buildings are also worth visiting, while the Alhambra Museum offers everything from Nasrid art to archaeological finds. The Alhambra contains a wealth of building and monuments and a visit usually lasts around 3 hours. The Alhambra s website is very useful for downloading tours onto mobile devices as well as maps and itineraries. Audio guides are available on site. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Buses 3, 25, 39 and 148 Description The Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real de Madrid) is the official - although not the actual - home of the Spanish royal family. Now used mainly for ceremonial and public functions, the Royal Palace of Madrid is open to the public as a museum of the building s and the country s history. Prior to the building of the Royal Palace of Madrid, the site on which it sits was home to the Antiguo Alcazar, translated as the Old Fortress. When this burnt down in 1734, Felipe V (Philip V) ordered the construction of what would become the Royal Palace of Madrid. Begun in 1738, the Royal Palace of Madrid would take seventeen years to complete and its first resident was the infamous Charles III (Carlos III). It would serve as the home of the Spain s monarchs until 1931 under Alfonso XIII. Visitors to the Royal Palace of Madrid can view the armour and weaponry of the Kings of Spain in the Royal Armoury, the Royal Pharmacy and several fascinating rooms such as that of Charles III and his Hall of Mirrors and the Throne Room. As well as the historical significance of the Royal Palace of Madrid, the site also has stunning gardens in which to wander around. On Wednesdays, there is a changing of the guard ceremony.

5 Top Ten Spain - Day 01 Name: Belchite Address: Belchite, Aragon, Spain Alternative Name: - Contact Details: contact tourist office Entry Information: Belchite old town is accessible at all reasonable hours. Site Direction: By Car: From Zaragoza, follow the A68/N232 then turn right onto the A222, signposted Belchite and follow the road into the town. The ruins are on the outskirts of the modern town. Description Belchite, near Zaragoza, contains the ruins of a town destroyed in the 1937 Battle of Belchite, during the Spanish Civil War. Left untouched as a symbol of the conflict, Belchite gives a rare glimpse of the intensity and destruction wrought by this terrible war. Today a modern town of the same name sits alongside the ruins and visitors are relatively free to explore the old town s remains. Among the most prominent structures within Belchite is the eerie Church of San Martin, which seems more like a medieval ruin than a victim of 20th century conflict. Other areas within the old town include the remains of the main street, the Church of San Juan and the Convent of San Agustín. Certain areas of Belchite are restricted due to unstable structures and care is advised when visiting the site. Notes

Gaudi did not live to see the church completed and, since his death in 1926, and with the exception of the period of the Spanish Civil War, La Sagrada Familia has been under construction. Nevertheless, despite its incomplete state, La Sagrada Familia s incredible architecture draws in hordes of tourists each year.

Entry costs 4 full, 3 reduced. Description The Alcazar of Segovia (Alcazar de Segovia) is an imposing medieval fortress which embodies much of what one would consider to be the ideal vision of a fairytale castle, complete with picturesque turrets and cliff-top location. It is thought that a fort has existed on this site since Roman times, but the first known written mention of the Alcazar of Segovia is found in twelfth century Christian records. Having started life as an Arab fort, in the thirteenth century, the Alcazar of Segovia made the transition from military stronghold to palatial residence and was slowly renovated in a gothic style, with further changes made in the sixteenth century. The interior of the Alcazar of Segovia doesn t disappoint and visitors can tour this magnificent site as well as climbing to its towers for great views of the town. Notes

In fact, renovations and even additions are still undertaken from time to time. Parts of Palma Cathedral were designed by famous twentieth century architect Antoni Gaudi, but his contributions are limited as he stopped his involvement due to a dispute with the contractor.

Sitting directly on the coast, Baelo Claudia is a beautiful site to visit, with both stunning views and ancient ruins. The remains of Baelo Claudia, near the modern town of Tarifa, have been beautifully restored and preserved because of the good general conservation of the ruins, their easy interpretation and the beauty of their surroundings. Although founded in the second century BC, Baelo Claudia began to expand as an important trading post in the first century BC and first century AD, particularly under the rule of the Roman Emperor Claudius. Baelo Claudia was expanded to include significant municipal areas, including a forum, theatre and market. It was particularly known for its trade in the Roman sauce called garum. In latter centuries, it is believed that Baelo Claudia suffered due to an earthquake and the onset of raiders and pirates in the area and the site was abandoned

Today, Baelo Claudia is a place where visitors can observe the fundamental characteristics of a classical Roman city and there are many aspects to the site that can still be viewed. These include the forum and the temples of the Capitolium as well as temples of eastern character such as that which is dedicated to Isis. Beyond these elements are a Basilica, administrative buildings or the municipal archive, market, theatre, baths, city walls & gates, streets, aqueducts and cisterns. There are numerous Roman cities whose remains can still be seen in greater or lesser measure in the Andalusian territory and a visit to Baelo Claudia is certain to inspire further exploration.

Description Nestled amid acres of dramatic parkland crisscrossed by waterfalls, streams and idyllic natural pools, Monasterio de Piedra is a picturesque medieval monastery in the municipality of Nuévalos, in the province of Zaragoza in Northeast Spain. The Monastery, whose name translates literally as 'The Stone Monastery', was founded in 1194 when Alfonso II, the king of Aragon, donated a castle and the land surrounding it to thirteen Catholic monks from the Order of the Cistercians. The castle dated back to the period of the Muslim Caliphate of Córdoba ( ) and had been a Muslim defensive stronghold during the battles against the Christian kingdoms of Northern Spain. Monasterio de Piedra was constructed over 23 years using materials from the castle and the wall which enclosed it. At the time, the conquest of the region by Catholic forces in 1120 was a relatively recent memory, and the Catholic kingdoms' campaign to re-conquer Spain ('la reconquista') was still underway. In this context, the vast building project served as a symbolic means of proclaiming, consolidating and reinforcing Catholic identity and Catholicism's public presence. The monastery was built during the transition from Romanesque to Gothic art, and is characterised by an austere and simple architectural style. It does, however,

20 The monastery was built during the transition from Romanesque to Gothic art, and is characterised by an austere and simple architectural style. It does, however, contain various baroque elements, which were added in the eighteenth century. Cistercian monks lived in the Monasterio de Piedra between 1195 and They had to abandon the building on three occasions: in 1808 during the War of Independence; during the Liberal Triennium of ; and finally in 1835, when the building was expropriated by the Liberal Government as part of its disentailment policy (which involved the suppression of Spain's male religious orders and the expropriation and sale of their property). During the latter two periods, many of the monastery's statues and images were decapitated in anticlerical attacks. Today, Monasterio de Piedra is privately owned and open to the public. Within the building's walls, visitors will also find a wine museum and an exhibition about the history of chocolate. The Monastery grounds also contain a fish farming centre, a luxury hotel, a spa and several restaurants. Contributed by Maria Thomas Notes
