Our exclusive private walking tours start at your hotel and can accommodate up to 6 people. During our 3-hour fully personalized tour, we will delve into the history and splendor of Granada after the Christian conquest of the city.
We will begin with a pleasant stroll through the historic center and then head to the Royal Chapel, where the mausoleums of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel and Fernando, along with their daughter Juana the Mad and her husband Philip the Handsome, lie in solemn Carrara marble. The work is of spectacular beauty and reflects the importance of Granada at that time for our monarchy.
We will discover the majestic Granada Cathedral, a masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance. The temple is one of the most valuable in Spain from an ornamental and artistic point of view, with its 15 chapels and perimeter altars. Its surprising interior luminosity is complemented by countless works of art and a history full of symbolism that our guide will share with you.
During our tour of the city's historic center, we will pass through the Alcaicería, the former nucleus of the Islamic medina, now an original space with bazaars of crafts, ceramics, jewelry, and accessories. We will stroll through Plaza Nueva, Plaza del Carmen, Gran Vía, and Calle Elvira, the urban axis of Christian and Muslim Granada. Throughout the tour, our guide will delve into and interpret with you the history, legends, and anecdotes of the Granadan monuments and characters that have contributed and continue to create the special atmosphere that Granada offers.
