Description

In this live-streamed online experience of Granada, we will cover multiple places of interest from up close and uncover how their functions have changed from the past to the present day as power changed hands. 

Our virtual walk will take us to the lowest part of the Albayzin, the city's oldest quarter and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Start at the Alcaiceria, the silk market that dates back to the XIVth Century. Then at the Corral del Carbón, the oldest Muslim warehouse in Spain, examine its unique Moorish architecture with rooms on the first floor and stables on the ground floor. Moving on, enjoy panoramic views of the Cathedral. Do you notice that the towers of this Renaissance-style monument are shaped differently?

Admire the gothic style of the Royal Chapel, the place where the first kings of Spain are buried from outside, before making your way to Paseo del Darro, one of the most beautiful streets in the world. Through the tour, we will visit many lesser-known gems, such as the city's first ice cream shop opened or the river that flows underneath. We will end the visit with a picturesque view of the Alhambra Castle on the hills to leave a lasting memory of this fascinating town in your mind.
