About this activity
Explore Granada's Moorish soul through the labyrinthine streets of Albaicín, a UNESCO World Heritage neighbourhood perched above the iconic Alhambra. This private 2-hour walking tour uncovers where Spanish and North African cultures converge, revealing centuries of Islamic architecture, hidden patios, and panoramic viewpoints that define this historically rich Andalusian city.
Once the last bastion of Muslim presence in the Iberian Peninsula, Granada is where spanish and north-african culture meet in an entirely different version of Spain. In the foothills of the highest spanish mountains of the Sierra Nevada, this city still basks in the glory of the Alhambra.

Follow us into the narrow streets covered in white houses, gardened patios and many springs that mixes in harmony arabic and christian architecture. We will take you to the famous sightseeing spot of San Nicolás, with its spectacular view of the towers and walls of the Alhambra, and the city below.
