Description
The Albaicín and the Sacromonte are the two oldest neighborhoods in Granada and also the steepest. The electric bike solves the elevation problem and makes it possible to explore in depth a territory that on foot forces you to choose between depth and exhaustion. Our tour combines the two neighborhoods declared World Heritage Sites into a single route with an expert guide, without giving up any of the relevant stops.
Our route starts in the center of Granada and climbs along Carrera del Darro, one of the most photographed urban walks in Andalusia, with the river and the wall of the Alhambra as constant companions. From Cuesta del Chapiz the route enters the Sacromonte, the neighborhood of caves and Gypsy flamenco, ascending to the Abadía del Sacromonte with open views of the Nasrid complex. The descent leads to the heart of the Albaicín, where the route regains a leisurely pace among the Palacio de Dar-al-Horra, the Aljibe del Rey and the Arco de Elvira before reaching the Mirador de San Nicolás and the Mirador de la Lona, the two points from which the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada are shown in their full scale.
