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.

    Getting there

    Parking options

    • On-street (blue zone): paid, time-limited spaces near the centre. Check signs for hours and limits.
    • Public car parks (recommended): secure, 24/7 facilities close to the old town such as San Agustín (Cathedral area), Puerta Real / Neptuno (good for shopping district), Triunfo (north edge of centre), or Palacio de Congresos / Paseo del Violón (easy access and a pleasant walk riverside).

    Tips: the historic centre has pedestrian streets and restricted access; avoid driving into the Albaicín. Use a car park and continue on foot or by bus. If your hotel is in the old town, ask them about permitted access and loading areas.

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.
