About this experience

Travelers will explore the Cathedral of Granada, a key example of Spanish Renaissance architecture, and the Royal Chapel, known for its late Gothic style. The Royal Chapel serves as the final resting place for the Catholic Monarchs and contains the tombs of their daughter Juana, son-in-law Felipe, and grandson Miguel de la Paz. The experience is divided into two parts: the first at 10:00 AM for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel, and the second at 5:00 PM for a visit to the Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods. Each segment lasts for two hours.

Itinerary

1

Granada Cathedral

Cathedral was erected on the place where the Main Mosque of the city used to be on behalf of Isabella of Castilla and its one of the first Renaissance constructions of Spain.

2

Royal Chapel of Granada

Royal Chapel is built right next to the Cathedral and the Madraza -the old Koranic School... It is one of the biggest mausoleums in Europe and it is a symbol for Christianity as it was the place where the Catholic Kings decided to rest forever. The graves of Juana -their daughter-, Philippe -their son in law- and Miguel de la Paz -their grandson- are located here as well.

3

Barrio Del Albaicin

Walking through the narrow cobbled streets with the help of a private guide in Albaicín and Sacromonte, is the best experience you can enjoy, since a guided tour of this type allows you to know the attractive features of the city from a magnificent way, not only that of an official guide simply, but of a person who lives and feels magic and beauty, as well as the history of the place.

4

Sacromonte

Sacromonte, a neighbourhood built on the rock. It was born 500 years ago to give shelter to the persecuted, some seeking freedom and others in search of treasures. Reaching it still has a point of adventure, streets that disappear at the edge of a pit or communicate between steep stairs, lead to another Granada born behind the valley of Valparaíso.
