Question Summary
I'll be in granada from nov 11th until 14th. I'd like to go on a guided tour of the alhambra. do they offer them in the afternoon? If so, will it get dark & prohibit me from seeing well? Everything I've come across is for morning tour only. thanks for any help you can give.

Damian Corrigan, Spain Travel Guide, says:
Hi Sue!The Alhambra closes at 6pm in winter to account for the fact that it will indeed be getting dark at that point. But you should have no problems getting a tour at, say, 2pm or 3pm and seeing everything in full daylight.
