Albaicín neighborhood
Our Albaicín, a lively neighborhood full of dreamy viewpoints where beauty and time whisper to us from every balcony.
Nowhere else in al-Andalus is there currently such a large and homogeneous urban complex. The architecture blends the characteristics and construction techniques of the Nasrid tradition with new decorative schemes.
That is why walking through its streets is like remembering and reliving the city’s Andalusian past.
Today it is one of Granada’s must-see attractions.

A quick look at what you’ll see in the Albaicín neighborhood
A unique blend in architecture
You will see unique, authentic architecture, a blend of Hispanic and Islamic influences, perfect for exploring the different architectural styles we know.
The reason why it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Delight in the water from its historic fountains, drink from them, and discover how this water and its hydraulic system contributed to the neighborhood becoming part of UNESCO today.
The maze of its streets
Strolling through its streets is one of the most intriguing attractions; it’s like getting lost in a maze.
You start walking down a street, a thoroughfare wide enough for a vehicle to travel in one direction, which we’ll call the main street. Suddenly, you find yourself in an alleyway; a narrower street for pedestrians, at most for bicycles or motorcycles. And as if by magic, sometimes you’ll end up in a dead-end street; a very narrow, long passageway with no way out.
The Carmenes of Granada
By the way, I’ll tell you this now… if you thought Carmen was just a woman’s name, Carmen Granadino will change how you feel about this word. I guarantee you’ll want to “have a Carmen” after this guided tour.
