The Albaicín is the most historic neighborhood in Granada. In our Free Tour, we will walk through its narrow cobblestone streets, contemplate various Cármenes (traditional Granadian houses unique in the world), the Mudéjar churches, and the aljibes. Finally, we will stop at the San Nicolás Viewpoint, which will give us one of the most beautiful and spectacular sunsets that can be seen.

The Sacromonte, a gypsy neighborhood, is famous for its cave houses. This neighborhood, which has its own personality, will offer us stunning views of the valley and the Alhambra while transporting us to another time.

Cris nos guió de forma amable y cercana por la Alhambra y los Palacios Nazaries, la explicación para mí gusto fue demasiado densa, pero quizás el monumento lo requiere. Aún así fue una experiencia fantástica para sacar provecho de la visita. Lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda.
