Guided tour Albaicín and Sacromonte
Description
Discover the two most authentic and authentic neighborhoods of Granada: the Albaicín and the Sacromonte. First, we will go to the Albaicín, an old Muslim quarter, declared a World Heritage Site, that will take us to the viewpoint of San Nicolás, with the best views of the Alhambra. Later, we will enter the Sacromonte neighborhood, recognizable by its caves, where minority groups came to settle after the Castilian conquest. Currently the Sacromonte has a great relationship with the art of flamenco, since the caves were reused by the gypsy community for that purpose.

Our guide Antonio was excellent! We did the tour at a very good pace, explained in great detail the most important of the places visited and the viewpoints. I highly recommend this tour.

Cynthia, (sp?) The guide, was great! She knows a lot. There were only e of us on the tour. A couple and me, so we for a lot of attention. The 2 neighborhoods are amazing!

In addition, the guide was attentive to the group all the time, asking us questions and answering questions. We would definitely choose Cinthia as our guide again because she was great. We loved it!

We booked a last minute tour to see these so neighborhoods and we were Beverly glad that we did. Yosin was an excellent guide; very knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history.
Very interesting and enjoyable route. The best thing, apart from the views of the Alhambra at sunset, has been our guide Javi, a grain of pro, who has taken us to incredible places. With very passionate explanations. A guide who likes his work and his city. Highly recommended experience.
