Combined Visit
When the general entrances to the Alhambra are sold out, you should first check if there are any combined visits left.It is the only entrance of these five that includes the day visit to the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife.

And Rodríguez-Acosta Foundation is a beautiful place, well worth a visit. But these tickets can also be sold out quickly.
