Hit the cobbled, uneven streets of Albaicin and explore the ancient Moorish neighborhood of whitewashed houses. Your expert English-speaking guide will take you through hidden alleys and corners and tell you stories and legends about this magical quarter. Walk along the streets of Paseo de Los Tristes, that translates to Promenade of the Sad. A melancholic name for a street that will take you by surprise with its lively atmosphere and stunning views of the Alhambra.

Drop by the Peña la Platería that claims to be the oldest flamenco club in Spain. Enter the plush realm of the Nasrid rulers and get a peek into how they lived when you visit the Horno de Oro House or the Dal al-Horra palace, residence of the mother of the last Sultan of Granada.
