Additional Information
Experience the best of Granada in one beautiful moment, with our sunset tour of the iconic Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods. Enhance your Alhambra visit with this essential guided walk, timed to coincide with the city’s most breathtaking time of the day.
This tour takes you through the heart of:
-
The Albaicín. Since 1994, this old Muslim quarter, renamed a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has entranced visitors with its maze-like streets and Al-Andalus history. Key attractions include the Mirador de San Nicolás, which offers stunning, picturesque views of the city.
-
Sacromonte. Known for its 3,000 caves and lesser-explored areas with panoramic views, this neighborhood provides an insight into the centuries-old history, tales, curiosities, and cultural richness of Granada’s gypsy community, including their most beloved contribution: Flamenco.
- There are many stairs, we climb hills, so it is suggested to have a medium-high physical condition

Perfecto!! - Excellent Tour. I realized that what would I’ve missed if not taken this tour. Our Tour guide Carmen Ruiz is amazing. She has so much knowledge about the history and we were easily into that era while she was touring!!

Lovely guide, beautiful area with lots to learn - This was the best-value walking tour I took in my 9-day trip to Spain! Maria was an incredible guide — knowledgeable, personable, really friendly, and funny! Being from Granada, she knew a ton about the city, including a lot of lesser-known recommendations (such as alternate, less-crowded Miradors than St Nicolas). She also went above and beyond, walking a couple of us to our flamenco show and putting in a good word for us so we got the best seats in the house.

Enthralling walk - What a great way to spend a few hours.
I was lucky enough to be part of a very small group so it felt like I was on a private tour!
I became completely absorbed in the atmosphere and the excellent sunset over the area was stunning.
My guide was Carmen.
She was absolutely brilliant , extremely passionate about her subject.
I don't think I have ever met anyone as knowledgeable about their history of an area and she made the walk so interesting with stories about life and local personalities too.
Thank you Carmen.

Charming. Cute. Loved it - Maria was lovely! Answered all our questions and had loads to talk about. Caution: Better be prepared for what feels like a hike (lots of steps and quite elevated)

Incredible - A great surprise, spectacular tour that I would recommend to anyone who wants to know these two areas of Granada. The views are incredible and the cultural part is extremely interesting, but what sets this tour apart is the guide who is extremely friendly and has great knowledge of the area and its history. 10/10 this tour

Beautiful - We loved our guide! The group ended up being larger than what was on the website so it was hard to hear everything.
