We will take a walk through the Alcaicería, which was the old Arab souk, where the silk market was located. Nearby are the Madraza (Arab University), the Corral del Carbón (Fondak) and the Plaza Bib-Rambla. Next to this is the Cathedral, the first Renaissance temple built in Spain, and the Royal Chapel.

The Royal Chapel is the Gothic church where Spain’s most famous monarchs, the Catholic Monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand, are buried. Inside, you can admire the beautiful Renaissance tombs made for them and their heirs, Joanna the Mad and Philip the Handsome. Next to the Royal Chapel, we can admire Spain’s first Renaissance cathedral.

Its museum houses an exquisite collection of early Flemish, Italian, and Spanish paintings, as well as various objects belonging to the Catholic Monarchs.

We will complete this tour with a short walk through the oldest part of Granada, the Albaicín neighborhood. This neighborhood is home to the famous Cármenes and Miradores, with the Plaza de San Nicolás being a particular highlight.

The Albaicín neighborhood has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO due to the number of small, historic structures that have been preserved there. We will discover hidden corners where we will feel the charm of minarets, cármenes, fragments of walls, churches, miradores, medieval Muslim houses, Christian Renaissance houses, cisterns, and more.
