Additional Information

Experience the best of Granada in one beautiful moment, with our sunset tour of the iconic Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods. Enhance your Alhambra visit with this essential guided walk, timed to coincide with the city’s most breathtaking time of the day.

This tour takes you through the heart of:

  • The Albaicín. Since 1994, this old Muslim quarter, renamed a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has entranced visitors with its maze-like streets and Al-Andalus history. Key attractions include the Mirador de San Nicolás, which offers stunning, picturesque views of the city.

  • Sacromonte. Known for its 3,000 caves and lesser-explored areas with panoramic views, this neighborhood provides an insight into the centuries-old history, tales, curiosities, and cultural richness of Granada’s gypsy community, including their most beloved contribution: Flamenco.

  • There are many stairs, we climb hills, so it is suggested to have a medium-high physical condition

Perfect night activity - The tour guide was very informative and I learnt so much about Granada. Would highly recommend if you want to experience a different side of Granada.

A Must Do in Granada - This is a tour you absolutely must do if you are in Granada. Touring the Alhambra will only teach you so much of the city’s history, and this tour is the final piece. Our guide, Carmen, was born and raised in the city, and you can tell how passionate she is about her community and the issues it faces. She was absolutely incredible and made the tour so special. We highly recommend doing this tour after touring the Alhambra so that you better understand the brief history they tell you. The tour will make much better sense that way.

Good tour - Doing a tour at sunset was a great idea, we had many great views of the Alhambra. Got to walk through areas I probably wouldn't have thought to go on my own.

Beautiful sunset tour without the crowds - Carmen was so knowledgeable and passionate about Granada. She was also attentive to our needs as we navigated steep hills to the Sacramonte neighborhood. Wonderful evening experience in beautiful Granada. Also was able to see the Alhambra at sunset but not from the usual tourist viewpoint. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour with Loraina (probably mis spelt) - Fantastic tour. Loraina is an entertaining and informative guide. The tour was a joy. Her English and accent was great [ sometimes an issue with other guides] Do go...you won't be disappointed

The perfect evening walking experience. - Maria was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide who conducted the tour at a very appropriate pace. She had a very good balance of history and culture, and allowed the group to question and explore according to their interests. Her selection of quiet stopping points was great - this enabled the group to gather and hear from her without a lot of distraction from crowds or other groups. Her timing was excellent in that she had the group arriving at viewing points at times that maximised photo opportunities.

Perfecto!! - Excellent Tour. I realized that what would I’ve missed if not taken this tour. Our Tour guide Carmen Ruiz is amazing. She has so much knowledge about the history and we were easily into that era while she was touring!!

Bad experience - We were at the meeting point and no one showed up for a long time. Apparently they were there eventually but were engaged in speaking Spanish and did not acknowledge me. So I figured they were a spanish-speaking tour. So we completely missed the tour
