♡ Save


Join this free tour and discover Granada in its entirety! Walk through its historic center, from Lorca and the Albaicin to the Paseo de los Tristes and the Christian monuments. A tour full of history and charm that will surprise you.
We start in Plaza Nueva, right in front of the fountain you see. Here we will talk a little about what we will see and an introduction to the history of Granada. Then, we will start climbing the Albaicin, but first we will see a nice view that will summarize the tour, as the Muslim converts to Christianity.
We arrive at the Placeta de San Gregorio, where we will start talking about the neighborhood, the churches and the beautiful floor, the cobblestone farmer. We continue going up where we will see typical curiosities of the city, how he found love, people in the old days ... until we reach one of the most beautiful secrets of the city, the Mirador de los Carvajales, where you will have beautiful and private views of the Alhambra to take perfect pictures.
We will go down to the Christian Palaces where we will see the remains of the original Zirí wall from more than 1000 years ago. To close with a flourish, we will go to the commercial and Christian heart of the city, where you will see the Chancillería or Plaza Isabel, to finish at the Royal Chapel, the Madraza, the Alcaicería and the Cathedral of Granada. At the end of the tour you will have discovered the most secret and fundamental of Granada!
