Hiking

The Alcazaba is, along with Torres Bermejas, the oldest part of the Alhambra. It is thought that before its construction and the arrival of the Muslims in Granada, there were various buildings in the same area.

Hiking

The Alhambra is surrounded by a city wall with towers. The Alcazaba (from Arabic al-qaṣba) forms the bulwark of the Alhambra. High towers and walls separate them from the rest of the walled medina. From here, walls lead to the Torres Bermejas outside the Alhambra, on the other side of the Bosque ('Forest') de la Alhambra.
