More information

The Albaicín is one of Granada’s oldest and most iconic neighborhoods. Famous for its maze of narrow cobbled streets, scenic viewpoints facing the Alhambra, and its distinct Moorish atmosphere, it’s no surprise it’s been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wandering through it feels like stepping right into the city’s most authentic soul.

Did you know...

The neighborhood of Albaicín has pre-Roman roots, but it truly flourished during the Muslim Nasrid era in the 13th century. After the Christian conquest in 1492, the Albaicín largely kept its Muslim layout and charm, remaining a living reminder of Granada’s Andalusian past.

What to see in the Albaicín

Some of the must-see spots include:

  • Mirador de San Nicolás – hands down the best view of the Alhambra.

  • El Bañuelo – ancient Arab baths dating back to the 11th century.

  • Casa de Zafra – a beautiful example of Nasrid architecture.

  • Iglesia de San Salvador – built over the site of an old mosque.

  • Paseo de los Tristes – a picturesque street running alongside the Darro River.

How to visit the Albaicín

You can easily explore the Albaicín on your own, getting lost in its charming streets and squares. But for a deeper dive into its history, you might want to join a guided tour with Civitatis, many of which combine a visit to the Albaicín with other key landmarks and areas of the city, such as the nearby Sacromonte.
