What to expect
Your guide will navigate you through Granada's layered past, starting in the former trading district where merchants once haggled over silk. The Albaicín climb involves uneven cobblestone streets and sharp turns—expect to move slowly, taking in whitewashed facades and hidden courtyards. The Royal Chapel is modest in scale but heavy with significance; your guide will contextualise the monarchs interred here within Spain's medieval politics. Allow time for questions; this is a tour built on conversation, not rushing between photo stops.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes with grip. The Albaicín is steep and slippery when wet. Chapel has modest lighting inside. Prams and strollers manageable on main routes but difficult on narrower side streets. Public transport nearby if you need to exit early.
