1 hour 15 min
We will begin with a basic overview of the area's history from a nice viewpoint with a positive energy, dynamic and charismatic tour guide with an extensive knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, pointing out the many landmarks and hidden gems that make these neighborhoods so special.
Then, as we walk through the Albaicín and the charming cobblestone streets, we will be showing you the best off the beaten path views of the Alhambra while we talk about the Arabic culture who lived on this ancient quarter (customs, religion, way of living) and why Granada became such an important city.
Once we reach the top, we will rest in a mosque with Sierra Nevada in the background, explaining the importance of thea in the Arabic culture while we drink a refreshing tea with baklavas. -
