What to expect
Your guide collects you and heads straight into Granada's centre, starting with the Cathedral—a sprawling Renaissance structure where Catholic monarchs are buried. You'll spend time understanding its architecture and significance before moving to the adjacent Royal Chapel. From there, the itinerary opens up: most visitors ask to wander the Albaicín's steep, winding streets with their white-washed houses and Arab baths, or push towards the Alhambra's fortress walls and gardens if tickets are sorted beforehand. The pace is yours. Expect mostly walking on uneven historic pavements; comfortable shoes matter.
