Private Urban Hike Through Granada’s Albaicín and Sacromonte

See Granada from a whole new perspective on this 2.5-hour guided walking experience. This semi-urban hike takes you through the historic hills of the Albaicín and Sacromonte, revealing the city’s most breathtaking viewpoints along the way.

Starting in the Albaicín Quarter, your guide will lead you uphill to the site of Granada’s first Iberian-Roman settlement, marked by ancient walls and gates from the Ziri period. Continue climbing to San Miguel Alto Chapel, where panoramic views stretch across the Alhambra, Albaicín, and city center—offering a perfect vantage point to understand Granada’s evolution from the 11th to 15th centuries.

A pine-shaded path will take you beyond the Nasrid city walls to a secluded lookout point before descending into Sacromonte. Here, you’ll visit the Sacromonte Caves Museum to learn about the traditions, daily life, and flamenco heritage of this unique quarter.

Following the Vereda de Enmedio trail along the hillside, enjoy sweeping views of the Alhambra, the Generalife, and the Darro Valley before winding back through the Albaicín’s narrow streets. Your walk ends with a refreshing beer in the heart of this storied neighborhood.
