Arco de Almedina
Best time to visit
Rano jutro, oko 9 sati, kada je grad još tih i kada sunčeva svjetlost pada pod najpovoljnijim uglom na kameni luk. Ljeti izbjegavajte podnevnu vrućinu jer je prolaz uski i kamen upija toplotu.
Budget tips
Prolaz je potpuno besplatan i nije potrebna karta za razgledavanje spolja. Ako planirate posjetiti katedralu i univerzitet, kupite kombiniranu kartu na glavnom trgu koja pokriva nekoliko spomenika po nižoj cijeni.

About
Quick facts: One intact gateway is all that survives of the medieval walls that once ringed the hilltop city. Pass beneath its tapered Moorish arch and you step straight into the lanes of the old Jewish quarter.
Highlights: A tight spiral of 40 worn stone steps lifts you to a rooftop chapel that doubles as a lookout post. From its balcony, you can trace the armillary sphere of King Manuel I carved in stone, the same celestial instrument that later appeared on Portugal's flag.
Insider tips
- Ponesite dobre cipele, uličice iza luka su strme i klizave jer su popločane glatkim kamenom
- Najbolja fotka je iz pravca starog grada, okrenuti prema luku, kada je sunce iza leđa
- Nemojte žuriti kroz prolaz, sačekajte da prođu turisti i pogledajte urezane simbole grada na fasadi
- Posjetite kapiju u okviru pješačke šetnje starim zidinama, topla preporuka je da krenete od rijeke Montego
