The Alhambra was high on my list of places to visit, so when the Spain trip planning started, I knew it was my chance.
Unfortunately, even planning a month ahead of time, it's almost impossible to get a ticket to visit. They recommend two months if you have a particular day in mind. Looking into it, the other choice is to go with Grana vision on an organized tour. It's 50 euros each, but they give you the ride up the hill from your hotel and a tour guide. If you want to get in, on short notice, you'll wind up giving them a call. Their tour starts at the justice gate above.
