Alhambra + Albaicin & Sacromonte Guided Tour
At the designated time, you'll delve deep into the magic of the incredible city of Granada, kicking off your day at the Alhambra, one of Spain's most visited monuments and one of the finest examples of Andalusia's Nasrid legacy.
Accompanied by your expert English-speaking guide who will entertain and inform you with fascinating facts about the fortified palace complex, you'll explore the beautiful Nazaries Palaces, the Alcazaba, the Partal, and the Medina, as well as the spectacular Generalife and its exquisite gardens.
After exploring the so-called red fortress, your tour of Granada from the Plaza de Isabel la Catolica, a historic square in the heart of the city center, up to the Abaicin district. Strolling through the winding streets, emblematic of its Medieval Arab heritage, you'll soon see why this is the city's most famous neighborhood and a UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site. You'll be captivated by the beauty of the area as you pass ancient minarets, hammams, cisterns, and typical Granada villas with their flower-filled courtyards.
Next, you'll be immersed in the magical Sacromonte quarter, known worldwide for its whitewashed cave houses built into the hills, its vibrant gypsy spirit, and zambra, a traditional local form of flamenco. Wander through its streets, taking in the charms of the historic neighborhood and, of course, admiring the incomparable views from its hillside vantage point. An unforgettable tour of the contrasts of Granada.
