CARRERA DEL DARRO
It is said that this is the most beautiful street in the world. This route separates the two most important places in Granada: the Alhambra and Albaicín neighborhood.
It has a romantic, ancient and bohemian air marked by the presence of historic buildings such as the convent Convento de Santa Catalina de Zafra, the palace Casa de Castril or the Arab Baths. Of course, always in the shadow of the impressive Alhambra, which you can see throughout the walk.
ALBAICÍN
It is the old Arab neighborhood of Granada. One of the essential things to know the city is to go for a walk through its narrow paving streets. The typical things of this neighborhood include “Los Cármenes”, which are typical houses from Granada located on the hill with views of the Alhambra.
It is recommended to finish the walk through the Albaicín in the viewpoint Mirador de San Nicolás, a magical place with the best views of the Alhambra. The sunsets here are wonderful and very romantic. With any luck you can contemplate the views while you enjoy street shows of flamenco.
SACROMONTE
It is probably one of the most charming neighborhoods in the city and it is famous for its cave houses. The gypsies who accompanied the troops of the Catholic Monarchs when they conquered the city settled here. Bohemian and flamenco artists later joined them and
they enchant everyone who visits their characteristic shows: the zambras.
CATHEDRAL AND ROYAL CHAPEL
It is one of the great cathedrals of the country. Go through its Renaissance facade to discover a beautiful temple dedicated to Santa María de la Encarnación. In addition to visiting the countless chapels, you should visit
the Royal chapel. It is the place where the tombs of the Catholic Monarchs, Joanne the Mad and Philip the Handsome, lie.
