4 walks with different starting points and stories. Compare their maps, stops and duration, then choose where to begin.
Explore these walksAndalusi Granada isn't limited to the Alhambra. This theme looks at the Zirid and Nasrid city through places that still belong to its urban walks. The routes connect remains, neighbourhoods and uses, asking what has reached the present and what changed as Granada's life continued over and around its earlier spaces.
In “Legends of the Darro”: The Bathhouse of the Walnut Tree and the bridge that sealed the city bring the uses and defences of Andalusi Granada into the Darro walk.
In “The Upper Albaicín”: From San Nicolás you look across at the Alhambra and take apart the most famous sunset in the world.
In “Central Granada”: You step, in your imagination, into the Nasrid merchants' inn, hear the ballad that, according to a novelist, was banned for being too sad, look for a gate that's no longer there and for the bonfire of books that nobody can place.
Choose from 4 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.

The Realejo: The Jewish Quarter You Can't See and the Convent District

Granada, before you go
