Halloween at Spain's Alhambra in Granada transforms the UNESCO jewel into a spine-tingling fairy tale. This 13th-century fortress-palace, perched on Sabika Hill, blends Moorish splendor with All Hallows' Eve chills from Oct 25-31, 2025. Book tickets early - night visits (€14-€38) unlock eerie magic under starlit skies.

Start Oct 25 with "Noches Encantadas" guided tours (8-11PM). Lantern-lit paths wind through Court of the Lions, where fountains whisper like ghosts. Actors in period garb reenact Nasrid legends—sultans' whispers, forbidden loves—amid flickering shadows. Feel the chill in the Hall of Ambassadors, evoking djinn-haunted halls.

Oct 31 peaks with "Halloween en la Alhambra": costume parade from Puerta de la Justicia (7PM). Dress as a Moorish phantom or enchanted odalisque; join 500+ revelers for a masked ball in the Albaicín quarter below. Pumpkin lanterns (calabazas moriscas) glow along cobbled streets, with fire dancers and storytelling of the Alhambra's "cursed" tales—like the Hand of Fátima warding off evil.

Savor spooky feasts: Try Granada's remojón salad with blood-orange "vampire" vibes or tarta de Santiago under moonlight. Haunted hayrides circle the grounds; kids' workshops craft muqarnas masks. For thrills, midnight "Leyendas" audio tours narrate Boabdil's tears and hidden tunnels.

With 2.7M visitors yearly, it's a ghoulish gala of history and horror—less tricks, more timeless treats. Pro tip: Wear layers; mountain winds howl like banshees.
Viva la noche embrujada!
