Albaicin and Sacromonte Private Tour

Discover the oldest neighborhoods in Granada, enjoy the most famous views of the city and learn the history of the last Muslim city in Spain.

Granada, centuries ago, had many neighborhoods and five hills. Like anywhere else, these neighborhoods were established by the initiative of potters, weavers, brickmakers, and olive oil producers… and also out of rejection and scorn, such as the water carriers, horse traders, and lepers. But the largest suburb was called al-Bayyazzin. The Albaicín was the most charismatic neighborhood in the city of Granada, so much so that it had its own governing body and autonomy, which made it powerful and even more feared by the Alhambra, the city of sultans and viziers. It was during this period that the neighborhood was designed, with narrow, labyrinthine streets interspersed with small squares. Today, it boasts balconies adorned with flowers, impressive viewpoints, and ancient cisterns, creating a romantic and enchanting atmosphere. This tour begins in the heart of the city, at Plaza de Santa Ana. You'll stroll through narrow alleyways and discover charming viewpoints. The tour continues to Sacromonte, Granada's most flamenco-infused neighborhood. Discover why people live in caves carved into the mountainside and why the Romani people chose this location centuries ago for their settlement. Want to learn the history of this iconic neighborhood?
