What to expect
Your guide will meet you near the Royal Chapel and walk you through its vaulted chambers, explaining the significance of the burials and the chapel's role in Spain's religious history. Expect modest crowds and dim interior lighting; the space remains active for worship alongside tourism. From there, it's a short walk downhill to the Madraza, where you'll see Nasrid tilework and the courtyard layout that defined Islamic university design. The pace is leisurely with regular stops for explanation.
