Overview

You can’t get to know Granada without visiting its origin, the Albaicin quarter. Situated on a hill in front of the Alhambra the neighborhood is a magnificent viewpoint from which you can appreciate the red fortress from any of its angles. Its labyrinthic and winding streets respond to its Muslim origin by combining the typical Arab constructions, with their impeccable whitewash, and Renaissance towers. Walk its streets and soak up the smell of orange blossom and jasmine from its traditional ‘cármenes’, see the busiest squares in the neighborhood where tradition and modernity merge and let yourself be carried away by the spirit that roams the streets of this beautiful neighborhood.

Right next to the Albaicín we find the valley of Valparaíso, a natural enclave of the Sacromonte district. Flamenco and art flood each of its corners, the caves on the hill become flamenco stages and the guitars carry the rhythm of this unique neighborhood.

“07.04.2025”

Excellent guide, exciting tour. It was worth it. We just showed up at the meeting point. Then after quick getting to know one another, we started walking with our guide at the front. We were lucky to have such a nice guide. It took a bit more than 2,5 hours. When we finished, we gave her tip. She was so classy that she even didn’t look at how much each person gave, we put the money into her purse. Definetely recommend the tour.

“An Excellent Introduction to this Fascinating City”

Delfina was the perfect guide! She was confident, kind, so knowledeable and made the history worth listening to. We felt the time passed fairly quickly as Delfina made her guidance so interesting, with some humor added in, welcomed questions, made eye contact, and her enthusiasm really shone through. Very engaging! And last but not least, Delfina’s English speaking skills were excellent.
