More information

Sacromonte is one of Granada’s most picturesque and authentic neighborhoods. Famous for its whitewashed cave houses carved into the hillside and for being the birthplace of Granada’s flamenco, this area blends history, art, and some of the city’s most breathtaking views of the Alhambra.

A Bit of History

The neighborhood’s origins go back to the 16th century, when Roma and Moorish communities settled here after the Christian conquest. Over time, residents adapted the natural caves into homes, creating a unique landscape that still preserves its traditional character today.

Flamenco in Sacromonte

Sacromonte is practically synonymous with flamenco. Many of its caves have been transformed into tablaos, intimate venues where passionate performances of song, guitar, and dance fill the night. These shows, bursting with emotion and authenticity, offer visitors an unforgettable way to experience Andalusian art in its purest form.

Sacromonte vs. Albaicín

While both neighborhoods preserve the charm of historic Granada, the Albaicín reflects the city’s Arab legacy through its narrow streets and architecture, whereas Sacromonte showcases Granada’s Roma heritage and its living flamenco tradition.
