A district of Granada steeped in history, like all of Spain - We did not use this tourist service (VoiceMap - audioguided tour) but we visited this very beautiful neighborhood called Realejo (royalty) following the expulsion of the Jews by the Catholic Monarchs. During the time of Nasrid Granada, it was the old Jewish quarter. The integration of the Jewish people there was such that Granada was known throughout the country of al-Andalus under the name “Granada de los judios”. This is the area where we stayed during our 4-night stay in Granada. This district is well worth a visit during a long stay in Granada. Besides, if we had to do it again, we would spend one or two more days in Granada to explore more of the city, including some of the attractions in this area. We have therefore only traveled part of the route proposed here. The elements that particularly pleased us were the bronze statue of Judah ibn Tibbon which marks the entrance to the old Jewish quarter of Realejo, Calle San Matías, Plaza de Mariana Pineda, Palacio de Bibataubin, Fuente de las Batallas, the superb Carrera de la Virgen, the Basilica Virgen de las Angustias and the Fuente De Las Granadas. Good visit !
