The Alhambra from Outside: Hill, Woods and Gates
Further up are a city gate that moved house stone by stone, the emperor's fountain and the Gate of Justice, with its hand, its key and the legend of what will happen on the day they touch.
Legends and Mysteries in Granada: audio walks
Which legends does Granada tell, since when, and what lies behind them?
5 walks with different starting points and stories. Compare their maps, stops and duration, then choose where to begin.
Explore these walks
Granada's legends become more interesting when you know their settings and when they began to be told. This theme follows mysteries and traditions attached to the city, alongside the history that puts them in context. Podtour keeps the tale while identifying it as legend: a good story doesn't need to become a certainty to reward a walk.
In “Central Granada”: The head above Puerta Real and the tales of the Corral del Carbón let you view the centre through the stories attached to it.
In “Sacromonte”: The lead books place the making and credibility of a story at the centre of the Sacromonte walk.
In “The Upper Albaicín”: You walk down through the square that was emptied when the Moriscos were taken away, pass the gate a prophecy kept shut, and reach the little square where a cleric planted fake ruins.
Choose from 5 independent walks in Granada. Open the one that interests you to see its map, stops and approximate duration before deciding. You don't need to do them all or follow this selection's order; each walk has its own starting and finishing points.

Granada, before you go
Check the slope before joining two dots on the map. Good shoes, breaks and one neighbourhood at a time keep Granada’s hills from taking over the whole trip.
