This offer combines the Alhambra with the Albaicín and Sacromonte in a single tour, three parts of Granada that showcase very different moments and spaces of the city. At the Alhambra, the route passes through places such as the Generalife, linked to gardens and former orchards, the Alcazaba, which concentrates the defensive side of the complex, the Nasrid Palaces and the Palace of Charles V, added to the monument at a later stage.

The experience then continues through the Albaicín and Sacromonte, passing through areas such as the Carrera del Darro, the surroundings of Plaza Nueva and Santa Ana, the climb up to the San Nicolás Viewpoint and the entrance into Sacromonte via the Vereda de Enmedio, alongside the cave houses, viewpoints and the surroundings of the Paseo de los Tristes. Between both parts, the tour totals around 5 hours and lets you cover the monument and two of Granada's most iconic historic neighborhoods in a single activity.

  5. 5

    From there, the visit heads towards Sacromonte via the Vereda de Enmedio, entering the area most closely linked to the cave houses and the neighborhood's own identity. This stretch passes the surroundings of the Cuevas Museum, the Fuente de la Amapola, the Mario Maya Viewpoint, the caves turned into flamenco venues, and the statue of Chorrojumo, finishing at the surroundings of the Paseo de los Tristes.
