Private Albaicín Tour with Andalusian Monuments includes tickets
What makes this experience special is not only what we tell, but how we live it with you. This tour is designed to suit each person: we do not follow a closed script or a fixed itinerary. We adjust to your interests, your pace and your capabilities. We can start somewhere else, finish somewhere else, or even modify the tour on the fly if you want.
We talk about the history of Andalusia through its real protagonists: Sultans and Sultans, Moors, travelers, artisans, the forgotten. The stones of the Albaicín have memory, and we help you listen to it from the approach that most excites or interests you: art, architecture, daily life, spirituality, cultural mixture.
And, above all, it is a private, personalized and close visit. We do not believe in impersonal groups or equal explanations for all. We care what makes you worried and what excites you. That’s why each tour is unique.

Plaza de Isabel La Catolica
We begin our tour in the Plaza de Isabella Catolica, right in the heart of the modern city, but a short walk from where Granada Ziri was born, capital of an Andalusian kingdom that marked the beginning of Islamic splendor in these lands. From here, we will enter a city that has been a frontier, kingdom and legend.
Plaza NuevaPass-by Only
We are now in Plaza Nueva, which, despite its name, is one of the oldest squares in Granada. This space, built by the Catholic Monarchs after the conquest, was symbolic of the new Christian order, right at the foot of the Alhambra. But under our feet, Andalusian history still beats: very close to here was the ancient bab al-Bunud, the ‘gate of the flags’, which gave access to the Ziri medina.
Real Chancilleria
Ahead of us stands the Royal Chancellery, symbol of the new power that was established in Granada after the Christian conquest. It was founded by the Catholic Monarchs in 1505 as the highest judicial institution in the southern peninsula, and its current appearance is due in large part to the reforms carried out in the time of Charles V. This building not only administered justice, but also represented a break with the Andalusian past. The old Zirite city gave way to the new imperial order.
