Read below. GRANADA full-day excursion every Thursday small groups of up to 4 or 6 people. Cost: €45 per person Those interested in buying tickets to the Alhambra should do so well in advance. It is best to contact me about this, I will help with the purchase. The ticket costs 19,5EUR. We leave from Nerja around 8.30 a.m. The journey to Granada takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. We drive directly to the Alhambra, where we leave the car. The further scenario depends on whether participants have tickets to the Alhambra and for which hour. Let’s assume that we start with the Alhambra. The tour of the entire complex with tickets takes about 2.5 hours. Those without tickets are taken on a walking tour of the Alhambra, the public areas and the nearby Martyrs’ Garden. From the Alhambra we head to the Albaicin. This is the most picturesque district of Granada, the former Arab quarter. It is a district of white houses, winding streets, city squares and plazas. We admire the magnificent views of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada mountains and the city. We look into Sacromonte, a gypsy quarter of cave houses. From the Albaicin we walk to the city centre. Here we take a short walk. Later there is free time, to visit the cathedral, the Royal Chapel, walk around the city, have lunch, tapas, shop. Free time is about 2 hours. On the way back, we already set off from the centre. This is where the car will be waiting. We plan to arrive in Nerja around 6 o’clock in the afternoon. We prefer to explore on foot. We follow my own tried and tested routes, Due to the differences in elevation in Granada it can be quite difficult for some people. In this case we use minibuses.

RONDA Departures on Wednesdays Full-day excursion. Departure around 8am, return around 6pm. Cost EUR 50 per person, payable in cash at the end of the tour. Additional entrance fees in Ronda (for those who wish). The town, located on both sides of the Tajo del Ronda, a gorge more than 100 metres deep, is one of the pearls of Andalusia. It could be said to be the largest pueblo blanco, the white city in Andalusia. Ronda is famous for its extraordinary views, precious monuments and historical tradition. The beauty of Ronda has been appreciated by artists and writers (such as Victor Hugo, Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway) for centuries. The history of the city remembers the times of the Iberians, Celts, Greeks, Carthaginians, Arabs and Berbers. Each of these civilisations played an important role in Ronda’s history, and the effects of this can still be seen today in neighbourhoods such as: The Arab quarter of La Ciudad, the Christian quarter of El Mercadillo, the district of San Francisco The journey from Nerja to Ronda takes nearly two hours, and from Almunecar 20 minutes longer. The road itself, the views and the desert landscape are very impressive. In Ronda we leave the car and go for a walk through the town. It takes about three hours in both directions. However, it is up to the participants to decide how long they want to walk, where to stop for longer or shorter periods. The old town of Ronda has preserved its medieval urban layout and numerous monuments from Roman, Arab and later times, We are sure to see among others:
Mondragón Palace was built in 1314 for an Arab ruler. After the Reconquest, it was transformed into a Renaissance residence with mudéjar-style elements. The Plaza de Toros in Ronda is probably the most famous bullfighting arena in Andalusia and one of the oldest in the whole of Spain. Iglesia de Santa María La Mayor Church - a church built on the ruins of a 14th century mosque and former Roman temple. El Tajo de Ronda ravine. Stretching over it, the 18th-century Puente Nuevo bridge is one of Ronda’s most important sights. It measures almost 100 metres high, and under its central span is a room that was used as a prison in the past. The Baños árabes (Arab baths) in Ronda are one of the best-preserved monuments of their kind in the Iberian Peninsula. They were built between the 13th and 14th centuries. In the centre, we will provide 2 hours of free time for lunch, shopping, walking, what ever.

TANGER - Morocco 1 day on Tuesdays Passport required Depart from Nerja, Almunecar and surroundings around 7am. Return around 9 in the evening.
We reach Algeciras by car, from where we take a 1.5 hour ferry to Tangier. In Tangier we have a two-hour guided tour and time to ourselves to immerse ourselves in the city, get a feel for it, have lunch, do some shopping. The tour is not advisable for those who are very unwell with seasickness. The journey through the Strait of Gibraltar alone is extremely impressive. Tangier itself is also a unique place. Fascinating Tangier has been a favourite travel destination for many famous artists and writers of the last century. It is therefore worth taking a few days to discover this historic Moroccan city and see for yourself what inspired artists such as Jack Kerouac and Henri Matisse. Due to its location almost at the crossroads of continents, Tangier has always been a cultural melting pot. For a time it was a semi-independent international zone, attracting foreign artists, spies and businessmen. Cost for a group of up to four people - €350 for the whole group plus about €60 per person - ferry trip. Information and booking: allpress.piotr.janczarek@gmail.com
