What each tour covers

• Albaicín: 800 Years on a Hillside: A continuous Moorish hillside in central Granada, walked downhill east to west across the slope that faces the Alhambra. The Zirid cisterns, the Nasrid streets, the Nasrid casa-patios, the morisco-period rebuilds, the post fourteen ninety-two churches inserted into mosque foundations, and the nineteen twenty-three to nineteen thirty-six scientific restorations by Leopoldo Torres Balbás, read across one corridor.
• Reading the Alhambra: A Nasrid Architectural Specimen: A reading of the most complete surviving Nasrid palace complex in the world, walked along the ticketed Sabika hill flow on the Granada hill. Seven stops, seven elements of an architectural language: trabeated arch, ashlar masonry, ceramic dado, stucco frieze, calligraphic epigraphy, muqarnas vault, and water as an architectural element, with the geometric strapwork tying them together. The building is the protagonist; the listener leaves able to read Islamic architecture anywhere.
