Albaicín in Depth: Complete Free Tour of the Moorish Quarter
♡ Save
Join our Free Night Tour through the Albaicín and discover the hidden magic of its illuminated alleys. Experience the beauty of the most emblematic neighborhood of Granada under a unique light, ideal for an unforgettable summer night.
We will start our route at La Puerta de Elvira, in the square. It is the entrance to the Moorish quarter of the Albaicin where you will feel like in Marrakech. Then, we will go up the steep and narrow cobbled streets of the Albaicín, enjoying beautiful viewpoints with the Alhambra as a reference, explaining what the Cármenes are, until we reach the famous Mirador de San Nicolás, with the best views of the city, the Alhambra. In addition, we will have it practically for ourselves, since at this time of day there are hardly any people, and we will see the Alhambra illuminated.
To finish, we will walk back down the neighborhood to reach the famous Paseo de Los Tristes and the Acera del Darro (and explain fascinating stories of the place), enjoying the breathtaking views of the Alhambra above us.
