Granada Walking Tour Including Alhambra, Albaicin and Sacromonte

Greet your knowledgeable guide at a pre-arranged meeting point in central Granada then head to the city’s most significant and stunning structure. Cradled by the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the Alhambra palace complex is one of the world’s most exceptional examples of Islamic architecture.  Admire the rose-tinted hue of the exterior then sail past long lines in the crowded entrance hall with your priority access pass. Follow your guide through extravagant palatial buildings and vast, richly decorated courtyards on your tour of the regal buildings. Admire dazzling domes and intricate carvings before absorbing the botanical beauty of the Generalife Gardens, the pristine landscaping of which is unrivalled. After thorough exploration of the complex, enjoy 2.5-hours of leisurely free time to explore the charming tangle of the Old Town independently (free time can be up to 5.5-hours in the summer season).  Next, reconvene with your guide and group then venture to the UNESCO Word Heritage-listed neighborhood of Albaicin to explore the medieval myriad of Moorish architecture. Gaze at the whitewashed waterfall of buildings streaming down the hill and see ancient Mudejar churches and Islamic bathhouses.   Stroll to Sacromonte to discover a residential neighborhood steeped in heritage; see scenic streets and hear tales of the gypsy residents who inhabited the caves, which are now used for flamenco performances. Revitalize with a refreshing drink (own expense) and taste some traditional tapas in an ambient Albaicin restaurant. Bid your guide and group farewell at this restaurant after your explorative experience.
