Aside from the important Andalusian legacy, Granada boasts incredible Renaissance architecture and modern infrastructure. Its glorious historic past is reflected in every corner, which you can now explore thanks to four routes prepared by the city’s official chronicler: the Muslim Route, 17th century Route, Landscape Route and Baroque Route. Follow the suggested itineraries and get to know places, people and events that have shaped the future of the city.
The
Muslim Route covers the Alhambra and its environs. Admire the impressive complex, a Unesco World Heritage Site, and appreciate the brilliance of its decoration and architecture. Situated atop the al-Sabika hill, it offers impressive views over the city that will take your breath away. General admission allows access to all the palaces and garden such as the Alcazaba, Nasrid Palaces, Generalife and Palace of Charles V.
The
17th century Route focuses on the city centre and Realejo district, which was where the city’s sizable Jewish community lived until the Christians captured Granada in 1492. Lose yourself in its labyrinthine alleys of white walls with copious vegetation are the essence of old Granada.
The
Landscape Route takes in the Albaicin and the Sacromonte neighbourhoods. The Albaicin was the Muslim quarter and is a maze of cobbled lanes that occasionally open onto plazas boasting romantic views of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada. Sacromonte is famed for its cave dwellings, traditionally inhabited by gypsies.
The
Baroque Route centres on the medieval streets of old town, where the cathedral – an eclectic mix of Gothic, Renaissance and baroque styles – and markets are to be found.
