Step by Step

Immerse yourself in the characteristic medieval landscape of Granada, the city where flamenco was born and where the Romani people settled in Spain, by joining this tour of the Albaicín and Sacromonte.

You’ll explore a beautiful region surrounded by natural wonders, such as the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Alhambra, a town brimming with castles, palaces and walls that preserves the essence of the Nasrid kingdom, when the Muslims ruled this part of Andalusia between 1238 and 1492.

You’ll discover the history of Granada with a professional guide, who will recount the rich and legendary history of this Andalusian city, as you stroll through its oldest neighbourhood: the Albaicín, also known as the Islamic quarter.

You’ll stroll past must-see tourist spots, such as the Mirador de San Nicolás, famous for its dreamlike sunsets and a spectacular panoramic view of the Alhambra, the Generalife and the stunning Sierra Nevada mountain range.

You’ll feel the authentic energy of the locals as you walk through the streets of the Sacromonte neighbourhood, where you’ll have the chance to visit the famous caves, a venue where the Romani community hold flamenco performances, known to the people of Granada as ‘Zambras’.

On Carrera del Darro, you’ll witness the natural beauty of the River Darro, which flows past on your left, spanned by idyllic stone and brick bridges, notably the Puente de Cabrera and the Puente de Espinosa.

You’ll enjoy an unforgettable two-hour walking tour, where nature blends perfectly with medieval architecture, cobbled streets, slopes and canals leading to the historic River Darro.
