Get ready to lose yourself in the enchanting maze of the Albaicín, Granada's old Arab quarter. You'll wander through a timeless maze of narrow, winding cobblestone streets, flanked by whitewashed houses with flower-draped balconies. Every turn reveals a hidden plaza or a breathtaking viewpoint, with the magnificent Alhambra palace framed against the Sierra Nevada mountains.

This is a neighborhood built on a hill, so wear your most comfortable shoes and be prepared for some steep climbs; the incredible views and historic atmosphere are more than worth the effort.

If you decide to go after your Alhambra tour, you can catch the bus C32 and be at the top of the Albaicín in 15 minutes, skipping the uphill walks! Make sure you step off in the stop MIRADOR DE SAN NICOLAS.
