Highlights
- Plaza Nueva - You will meet your guide in Plaza Nueva, next to the fountain. The first part of the tour will be the “Christian” area, where we will talk about the Royal Chapel, the burial place of the Catholic Monarchs, we will also pass by the Cathedral or the statue of Columbus. These monuments are visited from the outside.
- Barrio Del Albaicin - The Albaicin is considered one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Spain. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its narrow streets, white houses and spectacular views will make you want to live here forever. We will walk through its streets unhurriedly, enjoying its viewpoints and magical corners.
- Sacromonte - Sacromonte, the sacred mountain, the gypsy quarter of Granada and one of the birthplaces of flamenco. You cannot leave Granada without visiting one of the lesser known but interesting neighborhoods of the city. The buildings are the famous caves, where many people still maintain a traditional lifestyle, and on this tour, we will enter one of these caves to learn about its architecture and how, with little money, one of the most artistic and folkloric communities in Andalucia was created on this hill.

A great tour with a knowledgeable guide. - Edu was an amazing guide. His knowledge of not just Granada but of so much general history helped answer all of our many questions along the tour route.
The tour itself was great and varied with some wonderful photo opportunities.
After the tour Edu suggested several places to see during our visit to Granada.
I would definitely recommend this tour and Edu as your guide.

Highly recommended - We walked Albaicin with Alaine. Enjoyed his tour entirely. He was personable and knowledgeable of the history and current trends of the area. Appreciate his guiding us through the maze of the Albaicin Quarter. We enjoyed the walk much more than if we doing it on our own. Loved the pace a private tour gives us.
