Alahambra tickets-Which one?

There are several options for Alahambra tickets. We want to do it all. One of the tickets is general for 19.09euros and the other one is for 27.30euros and includes the Albaicin, which I thought was just a neighborhood you could walk around, so not sure why I would need a ticket for that. Can anyone who has been there explain which ticket I want? I know we want the Nasrid Palace.

This is the official site to buy tickets:
https://tickets.alhambra-patronato.es/en/

We had enough with just the general visit at 19 euros which includes the gardens and the Nasrid Palace.
When you click each option there is a written explanation of what is included for each ticket.
The options on the site have been expanded since the time we visited in 2019.

The 27.30 euro ticket is the "Alhambra Everything" package, plus free admission to six other places. I cannot say whether these other places are interesting, because when I went last week, I only saw the Alhambra: Generalife, Alcazaba, and the Nasrid Palaces. Those three are plenty to see in one day. In fact, when I went, I had the Generalife/Alcazaba ticket during the day and the Nasrid Palace nighttime viewing, and I was glad to have a break between the two tours. To see all three in a row seemed like overload, so even more monuments could be too much of a good thing. Of course, everyone is different, and some people might like to see as much as possible.

(The 27.30 euro ticket requires the customer to see the other six sites the day before, the same day, or the day after the visit to the Alhambra.)

Alhambra General €19.09 is the one you want to see everything.

The timed entry part is only for the Nasrid Palace, so you can walk around the rest of the complex at any time and spend as much time as you want. We booked the earliest Nasrid Palace entrance and it wasn't crowded, but later in the day we could see that it was.

The entrance you want that's nearest the Nasrid Palace is the Puerta de la Justicia (Justice Gate). We took a cab from our hotel and made sure to specify this gate to the driver.

(way more info than you asked for, sorry) :-)
