I thought this meant this happened on Jan. 1, but he mentions they "arrived at first light", so it may be the morning of Jan. 2. However, in a separate place, he said the Spanish troops entered the Alhambra on the night of Jan 1. Since it is daytime in the movie, I have decided to take the date of Jan 2.
