What to expect

Expect a steady three-hour walk through Granada's central quarters, starting with the Cathedral and adjacent Royal Chapel where your guide explains the building's significance within Spanish religious history. From there you'll climb into Albaicín, the old Moorish neighbourhood that now houses bohemian cafés, artisan shops and whitewashed houses stacked like a amphitheatre. The streets are steep and narrow—cobbled, uneven in places. You'll finish at Mirador de San Nicolás, the elevated terrace where the Alhambra sits directly across the valley, with mountains framing the view. The walk suits those with moderate fitness; bring water and wear comfortable shoes.
