“ Courtyard of the Lions ”
07 February 2012, 3:39

When will the Courtyard of the Lions reopen? We visit the Alhambra on May 8th or 9th and have our fingers crossed!

In early May is it best to get morning or afternoon tickets for the Alhambra?

Many thanks.

awgi:

The Patio de los Leones is open already.

I prefer an early morning entry to the Alhambra.

The Alhambra is worth every Euro. It was on my bucket list and I look forward to going back soon. Here's a look at the Lion courtyard when I was there:
