Granada Albaicín and Sacromonte with Museo Cuevas
Description
The Albaicín and Sacromonte tour plus the Cueva Museum, the two most emblematic neighborhoods in the city of Granada. A fundamental route to complete your visit after seeing the Alhambra. We will delve into old and multicultural centers such as: - The Albaicín neighborhood, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, also known as the old Muslim neighborhood, where we will discover the fascinating world of Al-Andalus through its labyrinthine streets and where you can enjoy the most famous Granada landscape from the Mirador de San Nicolás, among others. - And the Sacromonte neighborhood, with its more than 3,000 caves and panoramic views from lesser-known areas (which make them our favorite viewpoints), where we will be able to know and understand the life of the gypsies from centuries ago through their history, legends, anecdotes, curiosities and discovering his most precious legacy: Flamenco.

Our tour guide was amazing! It ended up just being my mom and myself on the tour. We were running late and the guide waited for us and I am so glad she did as the tour was so interesting. You can really see the passion she had for this tour, it was really enjoyable.
Francisco was very knowledgeable about the history of Granada. We learned so much about the gypsies of Spain, their culture and toured the beautiful neighborhood of Albacin. It was a wonderful historical tour and would definitely recommend to others.
Great tour! Maria was interesting and passionate about Granada and its history. Learned a lot. Loved it!
Guided tour by Lorena, we really liked her closeness and her naturalness. The best tour we have ever done! We will repeat. Thank you for the respect you have for history. And thanks for instilling it.
This was a highlight of our visit to Granada - don't miss it, was a contrast to the grandeur of Alhmabra. Bargain at €5 each. Easy to get to by bus (from Plaza Nueva, get off at 89 Sacromonte and return from the same stop) though a steep walk up from the stop to the museum. Bus just 0.44€ if using the Credibus card (€2 fee for €5 card which you can use for multiple people) or €1.40 single ticket. 11 caves furnished as homes, stables, forge etc with excellent information boards in Spanish and English and videos too. Views out across to Alhambra from outside the museum, and spotless toilet facilities too Really recommended.
The guide was really really great. Sacromonte and Albaicin are really fun places for a walking tour. I found the caves themselves a bit disappointing though, though no fault of the guide, the history just isn't that rich. So all and all it was worth it if only for the fun walking tour of the Albaicin with a very knowledgeable guide.
The stories Juana told us and the breathtaking views. She’s very informative and we really lesrned a lot about the 2 beautiful cities
