Walking through the narrow cobbled streets with the help of a private guide in Albaicín and Sacromonte, is the best experience you can enjoy, since a guided tour of this type allows you to know the attractive features of the city from a magnificent way, not only that of an official guide simply, but of a person who lives and feels magic and beauty, as well as the history of the place.

Sacromonte, a neighbourhood built on the rock. It was born 500 years ago to give shelter to the persecuted, some seeking freedom and others in search of treasures. Reaching it still has a point of adventure, streets that disappear at the edge of a pit or communicate between steep stairs, lead to another Granada born behind the valley of Valparaíso.
