Tour description

Welcome to a tour that will change your perspective on the Albaicín, the hidden treasure of Granada. Do you want to explore this place like a real local? Walk through its labyrinthine streets knowing the secrets that are hidden here?

The Albaicín is not just a neighborhood, it is the beating heart of Granada's history. Here, it all began, and we will discover who populated this hill and how it has evolved to be the charming and picturesque place we know today. Since 1984, the Albaicín has been a proud member of the UNESCO World Heritage Site , and as you walk through its streets and corners, you will understand why it is so special.

But wait, here comes the most interesting part! We will begin our tour from the iconic Mirador de San Nicolás , the epicenter of history and the highest point of this hill, where the first heartbeats of Granada were born. From there we will only have to wander through its alleys until we reach the lowest part, the Plaza de Santa Ana . This will ensure that the tour does not require much physical effort. Did you know that there are hidden places, patios and corners in the Albaicín that many miss and that are true treasures? Let's see some of them! Come with me, I guarantee that your experience in the Albaicín will be unique, authentic and, above all, unforgettable.

During our visit we will learn secrets, curiosities and anecdotes about the neighborhood and the people who lived there and that you will not find in any travel guide. As we stroll through the streets, you will be transported back in time and immerse yourself in the charm of the Albaicín. But that is not all! You will have to keep your eyes wide open, since throughout the tour, you will be left speechless with the spectacular views of the Alhambra, the most visited monument in Spain; and in the background, the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains, which complete the decoration.

So, are you up for it? Come with me to lose yourself and find yourself in the alleys, to learn and live the neighborhood in a special way. Don't miss the opportunity for an experience full of laughter and unforgettable memories! I'm waiting for you to discover the magic of the Albaicín together!
