Full description
Travel through the centuries on this 2.5-hour walking tour of the most charismatic quarters of Granada: Albaicin and Sacromonte. Learn the history, legends and local culture, guided by an official tour guide. Visit the remains of the glorious dynasties that ruled the last Muslim kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula. Walls, gates, palaces and mosques await you. Starting from the city center, you'll wander the narrow alleys of the Albaicin – the Moorish quarter. Be amazed by the white houses and the flowered balconies. Continue into the Sacromonte, the "flamenco" quarter of Granada. Learn why people live in caves dug into the mountains here, and why Gypsies chose this place centuries ago as their settlement.

The guide was excellent with sharing the history of the neighborhoods and we saw several viewpoints of the city. At the end a very helpful list of restaurant and bar recommendations was given that helped me to enjoy the city more with food and authentic atmospheres.

Maria, our fit guide climbed all the steep stairs without any effort and took us all sweaty to the labyrinth of those narrow streets full of cave houses and Carmens. She gave a lot of info about the interesting local customs, culture and history. you must wear comfortable shoes to deal with the steep cobbled streets and bring water! At the end of the tour though, we were all left stranded in a middle of some street in Sacramonte and had to find our way back to City Centre where the tour ended as we watched Maria the guide walking off saying good-byes. We made it back OK but it would have been better if we were taken back to where the tour started or at least near it.

Onze gids Marie Ola was zeer deskundig en wist heel veel te vertellen over Granada en de wijken van de tour. Veel mooie plekken gezien en zeker dus een aanrader om deze wijken te zien met meer achtergrond info. Goed te bewandelen en je komt op plekken waar je niet snel zal lopen. Leuk en leerzaam
