Highlights
- Plaza Bib-Rambla - We will delve into the narrative of Granada’s final sultan.\n\n(Granada, Spain, 1464 - Vado de Bacuna, Morocco, 1527) The ultimate sovereign of the Nasrid dynasty in Granada (1482-1492), this Muslim ruler was the son of ‘Abú-l-Hasán (Muley Hacén). In 1482, he instigated a rebellion against his father in Guadix, successfully deposing him with the assistance of the Abencerrajes lineage.\n- Palacio de Dar al-Horra - The final queen of the Moorish kingdom in Granada was known as Aïsha bin Muhammad ibn al-Ahmar. Her people affectionately referred to her as âAl Horraâ (meaning âThe Nobleâ or âThe Freeâ), while her Christian adversaries called her Aixa. A woman of formidable bravery, she orchestrated the Moorish defense against the encroaching Christian forces; a valiant mother who confronted her spouse to safeguard her son’s entitlements.\n\n- Calle Elvira - Our journey will take us to a teahouse that evokes the era of the Arab presence in Andalusia.\n\nThe interior boasts a splendid design, featuring a central fountain adorned with six lions, reminiscent of the iconic courtyard fountain at the Alhambra.\n\nIt’s an inviting and luminous space, offering a tranquil setting where one can enjoy the harmonious blend of Arabic tunes and the gentle sound of flowing water.\n\nThe menu presents an authentic array of traditional Arab cuisine, with a wide selection of coffees, crêpes, and fresh juices. Whether for tea or dinner, the servings are generous and flavorful.\n- Los Banos - A retreat to the Arab Baths Spa in Granada is an opportunity to detach from the hustle of the outside world, unwind, and reconnect with oneself. Our services provide Physical, Psychological, and Aesthetic advantages, making it an ideal choice for a serene weekend or holiday escape.\n\nBaños de Elvira is an exquisite Spa situated in Granada on Arteaga street, nestled in the city’s core and at the base of the Albaycin.
