  • Lovely gardens, free for seniors over 65 but you must show your passport. Quiet in February but an interesting building with some lovely mosaics. Well worth a trip!

  • Firstly, I hadn't prebooked a ticket and it was a mistake, as the ticket kiosk, 1 minute from the entrance took a while. Anyway... Just a few minutes from the Mezquita, this is a worthy visit, not so....  more

  • Excellent, 3 palaces in one. Lovely beautiful gardens in Italianate style, English style (sort of) and a paradise garden. Cafe and toilets inside. Very crowded world heritage site. A must see, highly recommended. A guided tour is a very good idea as it's the history that makes the place. Essential to book in advance or you may not get in. Identification needed too.
  • After reading a few reviews which seemed to say there wasn't much to see, I was hesitant of what to expect. But, I thought for the price it was definitely worth seeing. I think it helps to see on a warm (Hot) sunny day, but it really is an oasis, if you take your time and ensure sit down in the gardens for a bit and watch the world go by. Agreed, in the building not a lot to see but has some great mosaics on show. For the price definitely worth a visit.
