Description
Discover the two most authentic and authentic neighborhoods of Granada: the Albaicín and the Sacromonte. First, we will go to the Albaicín, an old Muslim quarter, declared a World Heritage Site, that will take us to the viewpoint of San Nicolás, with the best views of the Alhambra.
Later, we will enter the Sacromonte neighborhood, recognizable by its caves, where minority groups came to settle after the Castilian conquest. Currently the Sacromonte has a great relationship with the art of flamenco, since the caves were reused by the gypsy community for that purpose.

The tour guide is astonishingly knowledge & she had no issue answering the onslaught of questions we threw at her. She was on time & reliable.

Wonderful visit with a great guide (Cinthia)
On January 18th we made the guided tour of the Albaicín and Sacromonte de Granada with Cinthia. The visit was 10. It was a wonderful visit, as the guide told us the story in a very pleasant way. In addition, the guide was attentive to the group all the time, asking us questions and answering questions. We would definitely choose Cinthia as our guide again because she was great. We loved it!

Spectacular route
Very interesting and enjoyable route. The best thing, apart from the views of the Alhambra at sunset, has been our guide Javi, a grain of pro, who has taken us to incredible places. With very passionate explanations. A guide who likes his work and his city. Highly recommended experience.
