Overview
- The Patronato de la Alhambra y el Generalife announced Wednesday that the Generalife is fully open and about 95% of the Palacios Nazaríes are again accessible to visitors.
- Visitors can now follow restored routes including the Paseo del Generalife, the Palacio del Partal, the Patio de la Reja, the Patio de Lindaraja and the Habitaciones del Emperador, and may only look into the Sala del Trono.
- As a precaution the Sala del Trono in the Palacio de Comares and the Alcazaba remain closed pending further inspections and seismic stability.
- Officials say the decision follows repeated, detailed checks after a seismic swarm that began on 15 August and produced more than a thousand small quakes, and they will continue monitoring activity before reopening the remaining spaces.
- Normal visiting hours of 8:30 to 20:00 are kept, easing access for roughly 8,000 daily visitors while further reopenings will depend on ongoing technical reports and stable seismic readings.
