Hello Tony,
We are fans of yours and thanks again for the information. Question regarding Alhambra tour, we plan to purchase a digital audioguide, or rent an audioguide. I found a link from the Alhambra official site (Audioguiahttps://www.gvam.es/tienda/alhambra/en/ ), but it’s very confusing. Is this the best way to buy, and which one should i get among “Visit Alhambra General”, “Alhambra Experiences” and “Mobil app: activation code”. Will the Mobil app cover the palace and garden, etc.? We do have earbuds and smart phones, the mobil app seems the best choice. Otherwise, does “Visit Alhambra General” the one to get?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Ing
Hi again, Ing. The audioguide provider was changed recently and we haven’t got any experience on how it works. We assume you should buy the audioguide pack that matches the ticket you are buying. All the best.
thank you!
