Itinerary

Granada is much more than the Alhambra; Let yourself be guided through the historical heart of the city and the Albayzín neighbourhood, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

You will have the opportunity to walk through places as representative of the history of Granada as the Cathedral or some of its most famous streets. Our tour will begin at the statue of Isabel la Católica to go to the Corral del Carbón, the only Alhóndiga from the Nasrid period that is preserved in the country. Walk with us through the streets of the Alcaicería, an old souk that will transport you to bygone eras and remind you of the markets of Marrakech where you can see and purchase inlay and fajalauza work, traditional crafts from Granada. Next to it, there is the emblematic Plaza Bibrrambla, which keeps many stories and, by the way, it is where the best chocolate and churros are served!

Escorted between different buildings, we have the Cathedral of Granada, the eighth largest in Spain, made up of three different architectural styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. On its walls we can find medieval graffiti, the cheers. We cannot forget the Royal Chapel, mausoleum of the Catholic Monarchs, right in front of the Madraza.

Beyond Gran Vía, we will reach the Chancillería and the Carrera del Darro, and part of the Albayzín: we will go up through its narrow and labyrinthine streets to reach our final point, the viewpoint of San Nicolás!

Since at Gazal Tours we are committed to responsible tourism, we will use a radio guide system if the group is made up of four or more people so that you do not miss any detail of the visit, and to avoid noise pollution.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This is an exterior tour, so you will not visit the interior of the Royal Chapel or the Cathedral.
