About this tour
An immersion in the two most authentic neighbourhoods of Granada. The Albaicín, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, preserves the Nasrid urban layout. Sacromonte, the quintessential gypsy neighbourhood, immortalised by Federico García Lorca in his Romancero Gitano.
Un recorrido cargado de historia, cultura y vistas únicas que muestra una Granada experience, alejada de los circuitos más masificados.
