Itinerary

Stop 1

Meet your guide at Plaza Nueva, a lively meeting point nestled between the historic Albaicín and the Alhambra. Surrounded by elegant buildings and bustling cafés, it’s the perfect place to start exploring the city.

Stop 2

This iconic square features a striking monument of Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus, symbolizing the moment she agreed to fund his voyage to the Americas. It’s a key site that links Granada’s Christian and exploration history.

Stop 3

A beautifully preserved 14th-century Moorish building, originally used as an inn and warehouse for merchants. Today, it offers a glimpse into Granada’s Nasrid past and hosts cultural events and artisan shops.

Stop 4

Once the silk market during Moorish times, the Alcaicería is now a maze of narrow alleys filled with colorful shops selling crafts, souvenirs, and local goods. It’s a charming place to experience Granada’s Arabic heritage.

Stop 5

Built over a former mosque, this grand Renaissance cathedral reflects Spain’s transition from Moorish to Christian rule. Its majestic interior and unique architecture make it one of the most impressive in the country.

Stop 6

Adjacent to the cathedral, this chapel is the final resting place of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella I and Ferdinand II. The elaborate Gothic structure and their ornate tombs offer deep insight into Spain’s royal history.

Stop 7

A short introduction to the city’s oldest neighborhood, the Albaicín is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its narrow cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and stunning views of the Alhambra. It’s a captivating blend of Moorish charm and Andalusian tradition.
