Should I just try and book a ticket for the Alhambra and walk around it myself or is it worth paying extra for a guided tour?
Re: Re: Guided Tour, audio guide or go it alone at the Alhambra?

It depends if you want to walk around at your own pace without commentary or walk around with a group with a guide who is telling you things.

Only you can decide which you would prefer.

Getting a ticket would be easier if you get a guided tour because you don't have to understand anything except turn up at the start.
