Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
The Abbey of Sacromonte is a historic 17th-century abbey, formerly a seminary and school with student residences. It now serves as a residence for canons, a parish church, and an ecclesiastical museum. Located northeast of the Spanish city of Granada, it can be accessed either via the Sacromonte Road, which starts at Peso de la Harina halfway up the Cuesta del Chapiz, or via the old Fargue Road originating in Haza Grande.
2
It is a cobblestone path that encircles the area, offering several viewpoints from which the Alhambra can be admired from various perspectives. Of course, one must also acknowledge the charm of the caves in the renowned Sacromonte gypsy quarter and the nearby Albaicín neighborhood. Every resident of Granada should take the time to stroll along this white pathway and uncover the secrets hidden within its many twists and turns.

Stop 3
The Sacromonte is a picturesque neighborhood in Granada, renowned for its cave houses carved into the hillside and its rich flamenco heritage. Perched on the hill opposite the Alhambra, it offers breathtaking views of the monument and the city. Historically home to Granada's Roma community, the Sacromonte is steeped in cultural legacy, particularly through the *zambras*, a unique style of flamenco rooted in local traditions. Its narrow, history-filled streets and bohemian atmosphere make it a truly unique place to experience the most authentic essence of Granada.
4
It is a neighborhood in Granada, Spain, located around a hill on the northern side of the Darro River, which flows through the city. The area is notable for its historical monuments and for largely preserving its medieval street layout from the Nasrid period (13th to 15th centuries), despite undergoing significant physical and demographic changes after the Reconquest in 1492. In 1994, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an extension of the historical ensemble that includes the nearby Alhambra.

Stop 5
The San Nicolás Viewpoint is one of the most iconic spots in Granada. Few views in the world are as unforgettable, and this one undoubtedly ranks among them. The undeniable beauty of this viewpoint lies in its breathtaking panorama: the Alhambra and Generalife face each other, the city sprawls below, and the majestic Sierra Nevada towers in the background.
Adding to its charm is its location in the heart of the Albaicín neighborhood, with its cobblestone streets, ancient wells, lively tapas bars, and welcoming locals. Together, they create a picture-perfect experience that captures the essence of Granada.
