Itinerary

The Alhambra’s palaces and ramparts, with the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains towering above them, are one of Andalusia’s iconic images. On this walking tour, you’ll never be far from a spectacular viewpoint and, between them, you’ll dive into narrow, winding streets that have hardly changed since Moorish times. You’ll then wind your way through the heart of the Albaicín, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is rich in charm and dotted with historical sights, including the old city walls, palaces, gardens and churches.

Our tour starts outside the Santa Isabel la Real Monastery (Royal Convent of Saint Isabel), from where you’ll explore the very oldest part of the city which has been settled for almost 3,000 years.

Iglesia de San Miguel Bajo
Pass-by Only
