Granada is much more than the Alhambra; Let yourself be guided through the historic heart of the city and the Albayzín neighborhood, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. You will have the opportunity to walk through places as representative of the history of Granada as the Cathedral or some of its most famous squares. Our trip will begin at the statue of Isabel la Católica to go to the Corral del Carbón, the only Alhóndiga from the Nasrid period that is preserved in the country. Be amazed by the streets of the Alcaicería, an old souk that will transport you to forgotten times and will remind you of the markets of Marrakech where you can see and purchase inlay and fajalauza work, traditional luxury crafts from Granada. Next to it is the emblematic Plaza Bib-Rambla, which holds many stories and where the best chocolate and churros are served! Escorted between different buildings, we have the Cathedral, composed of three different architectural styles, and on its walls we can find medieval graffiti. We cannot forget the Royal Chapel, mausoleum of the Catholic Monarchs, right in front of the Madrasa. Beyond Gran Vía, we will reach one of the jewels of the city: the emblematic Albayzín neighborhood, whose narrow and labyrinthine streets are steeped in our history. We will walk through Carrera del Darro, where we will talk about the Bañuelo or the Archeological Museum; we then will start climbing to get to our final destination, the San Nicolás Viewpoint!

I invite you on a journey through the Islamic past of Granada, offering treasures beyond the Alhambra and Generalife. If you’re eager to explore the city’s Muslim heritage or seek an alternative to the busy Alhambra, these monuments provide a unique, enriching experience. Start with the Dar al-Horra Palace, a peaceful retreat in the Albaicín and once home to the last Nasrid queen, Aixa. This elegant palace showcases the grace of Nasrid architecture and offers a glimpse into royal life during Al-Andalus. Nearby, El Bañuelo, one of Spain’s best-preserved Arab baths, lets you step back in time with its iconic star-shaped skylights and tranquil ambiance, reflecting the importance of bathing culture in Islamic society. In the city center, visit the Corral del Carbón, a former Nasrid caravanserai that welcomed merchants and travelers. Today, it represents Granada’s cultural crossroads, blending Islamic and Christian influences and hosting cultural events. Stroll through the Albaicín, Granada’s oldest quarter, with its maze of cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and jasmine-filled courtyards. Explore lively squares, and enjoy breathtaking Alhambra views from Mirador de San Nicolás, especially magical at sunset. Uncover Granada’s hidden gems and immerse yourself in its timeless stories, beauty, and spiritual depth. This journey reveals a quieter, more intimate side of the city—one that speaks through its architecture, alleys, and centuries-old traditions. Let this tour be your portal to the city’s Islamic heritage—less visited, but no less magnificent.

Do you want to learn of the Arab legacy that still remains in the customs and neighborhoods of Granada? In the neighborhood of Albaicín there is a popular saying: "If you want to meet someone, just visit their house". For this reason, knowing the historical legacy that survives in the buildings that have lasted until today is a unique opportunity. The buildings that you will encounter throughout your tour are: Dar al-Horra Palace, Casa del Chapiz, Casa Horno del Oro, El Maristán y El Bañuelo. Each one of these places has a completely different function and use of space depending on the intention with which they were built.
