    Hiking

    The Alcaicería of Granada is a former silk market located in the center of Granada, near the Cathedral. This maze of narrow, picturesque streets is a reflection of the city's rich Muslim heritage. Originally, it was a souk where silk was made and sold, and was protected by nine gates that were closed at night.
    Today, the Alcaicería is a popular tourist destination filled with shops selling Granadan handicrafts, such as Fajalauza pottery, wood inlays (taracea), and colored glass lamps. In addition, you can find a variety of products such as souvenirs, spices, and jewelry.

    A couple of narrow alleyways that remind you of a souk, these have once been the old Moorish silk market, and Granada's Grand Bazaar. Today it is home to numerous shops that sell you souvenirs.

    It's lovely to stroll through the narrow streets and browse the wares. The vendors aren't particularly pushy. A touch of the Orient 🤩.
