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.

This activity includes:

Plaza Nueva de Granada
Mirador de San Nicolás
Monumento a Mario Maya (Bailaor y Coreógrafo)
Escultura Chorrojumo
Paseo de los Tristes
Aljibe del Albayzin
Cruz de la Rauda
Placeta del Comino

“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.

“Great way to understand the uniqueness of Granada ”

Tour was well-paced to break up the uphill climb to the viewpoint and Sacremonto. Guide shared a lot on the background and unique structures in Albacin and Sacremonto. Granada is a lovely place and we learnt a lot during the tour.
