Don't know if this should be in Off Topic or here?

I have a chum coming over to stay for 10 days and we thought that we would do a return trip to the Alhambra as it's been 8 years since the first visit and my camera packed up just as we arrived.

Done some checking and the entrance price is now a whopping €45 and only by guided tour. Last time we wandered round at our own pace!

Edit: This info was given to me by a friend who was staying in Grenada and wanted to visit. Checking the official site it states €12

damn thats annoying, why force you into a guided tour

Where did you read about this ?

We visited it couple of years back and parked overnight in the car park alongside 3 or 4 other vans.

Nice location, no facilities though, brilliant walk up into the hills overlooking the Al Hambra and seeing the Sierra Nevada mountain range surrounding Grenada though with Bradley Smile

Whew ! That's better ! At E45 I'd have expected B&B as well !

Back on the list now.

We visited January 07 and the price was 10 Euros each, so your new price of 12 Euros should be about right.
It is truely a wonderful place - see some of my own images below - we visited Cordoba this February and we can throughly recommend a visit if old spain is your interest, they have Roman, Arab and Spanish all mixed together very well presented and preserved. The hotels in the old town are good, but no parking on site. There is a decent site on the outskirts of town - its in all the books.

We paid 12 eauros each in November and it is only the main palace you have a guided tour for, if you can buy your tickets before going as they all have a different time for you to enter the grounds and your guided tour of the palace. We couldnt buy tickets from the campsite when we were there as the internet site was down so had to get there early at 10am to buy them and then couldnt go in until 2.30pm and our guided tour was at 4.30pm.

Buon giorno tutti,
have my entrance ticket from 26/01/08 in front of me - I paid for four of us, per person, 'precio Jubilados UE' Euro 9. i.e. EU pensioners price.
This ticket was valid from 08:00 to 14:00 and was a 'visita general' i.e. we were free to wander at will. The only thing is we were so absorbed with the gardens, palace etc. that we never made the Generalife before our time ran out at 14:00.
A real bonus though, don't know if any one else has managed to get this - as we entered the grounds my mobile phone automatically picked up a bluetooth signal that downloaded onto it automatically a brief illustrated guide. A brilliant idea, and free of charge.
If you go to Spain then you cannot miss Granada and the Alhambra, it would be like coming to Rome and missing the Vatican.
