Albaicín neighborhood: Getting lost in the alleys and squares of the Albaicín is a unique experience. This historic neighborhood retains its Moorish charm and offers panoramic views of the Alhambra. Don't miss the San Nicolás viewpoint to enjoy a spectacular view.🌞😊☀️

Carrera del Darro

Highlight • Trail

Remember that the Carrera del Darro is a very old route, although the current route dates from the 17th century. It was then when, due to the damage caused by a powder magazine located next to the church of San Pedro and San Pablo, part of the wall was demolished and the riverbed was modified.

Granada Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Queen Isabella the Catholic ordered the construction of the Cathedral of Granada in 1505, shortly after the taking of the city, and chose for its location the place where the Royal Mosque of the Alhambra was located.
However, the scope of the project led to a search for a larger site and it was moved to the center of Granada, where the Great Mosque was located.
