Free Tour The Best of Granada
♡ Save
Feel the magic in the authentic gypsy neighborhood of the Sacromonte and travel through time to the Zirid and Almohad era while walking through its historic streets.
Granada is much more than The Alhambra. Granada is Islamic and Christian, are its streets and its aromas. We will visit narrow streets of the Albaicín and the City center, the place where Christian and Islamic buildings are mixed, where the Cathedral and the Madraza are.
This tour will introduce you to the History and Art from Granada. The tour will be the first approach to enjoy even more of the city by the great sultans and the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferdinand.
We will start the tour at the city center, where the sultans established the market for silk and the Madraza, a famous place during Medieval Times and that changed a lot of centuries later of the Christians conquered the Kingdom.
We will continue the tour in the most famous quarter of Granada, the Albaicín, where will go across a part of this neighborhood. There will see the classical architecture of an Islamic city, trees, and fruits on the walls. Once there, these narrow streets will provide us with a pleasant and impressive surprise in little-known viewpoints.
