## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- 'Generalife' in a tour title does not mean the Nasrid Palaces are included. The most reviewed 'Alhambra and Generalife Guided Tour' on Viator (Play Granada, 19234P13) excludes the Nasrid Palaces ticket.
- The Generalife is included in both the General ticket and the cheaper Gardens ticket; no tour gives extra Generalife access.
- The Alcazaba is open again (adapted route since 23 September 2026); older posts saying it is closed after the August earthquakes are out of date.
- 'Skip the line' tours still enter the Nasrid Palaces only at the booked half-hour slot.
