Granada Walking Tour
Granada, Spain
Why Walk Granada
Granada is a city that must be walked to be understood. The Albaicin, a UNESCO-listed Moorish quarter of whitewashed houses and winding lanes, climbs the hillside opposite the Alhambra, offering some of Spain's most dramatic viewpoints. The Sacromonte neighborhood is home to cave dwellings and impromptu flamenco performances. Below, the city center blends Renaissance churches with a vibrant student atmosphere — Granada's university is one of Spain's largest. The tradition of free tapas with every drink makes bar-hopping on foot both delicious and economical. From the snow-capped Sierra Nevada as a backdrop to jasmine-scented patios, Granada is sensory overload in the best way.
