FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ALBAICÍN AND SACROMONTE GUIDED TOUR
- No. The visit is interpreted from the outside and does not include entry to any buildings or caves.
- The Albaicín was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 because it has retained its medieval urban structure almost entirely intact, with a layout of Muslim origin that was consolidated during the Nasrid period. Its network of narrow streets, cisterns, remnants of walls and former mosques converted into churches preserves the essence of the historic neighbourhood. The Sacromonte completes the story with the arrival of the Romani community and the development of cave dwellings and zambra flamenco.
- It starts at Plaza de Santa Ana, next to the Church of San Gil and Santa Ana, and finishes at the Paseo de los Tristes (Paseo del Padre Manjón), below the Alhambra.
- Departures are available in Spanish and English and language groups are never mixed.
- No. The route involves slopes, steps and cobblestones, making it unsuitable for wheelchair users and not recommended with a pushchair.
