Albaicin and Sacromonte Tour more Museum of the Caves, in this tour that offers the best panoramic views of the city of Granada and the Alhambra, we will visit places with centuries of tradition such as the famous caves of Sacromonte, where accompanied by a Official guide and local we will discover the exciting world of Flamenco, the most precious legacy of the gypsy ethnicity, a privilege for anyone who is sensitive to their five senses. They managed to form it as art and already declared by the UNESCO World Heritage, after many centuries of suffering and trying to survive racial injustice. Today we can boast of this art since Granada, Sacromonte, is one of the cradles where the extraordinary folklore, songs and dances, habits, customs and culture so striking are developed.
We strongly recommend the full guided tour that we offer thanks to the collaboration with the Museum of the Sacromonte Caves. This tour without the Museum remains incomplete.

What does the Albaicín and Sacromonte Tour with the Cave Museum consist of?
The tour begins in Plaza Nueva to visit the two most emblematic neighborhoods of the city of Granada. A fundamental tour to complete your visit after seeing the Alhambra.
We will enter old and multicultural towns such as:
– The Albaicín neighborhood, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, also known as the old Muslim quarter, where we will discover the fascinating world of Al-Andalus through its labyrinthine streets and where you can enjoy the most famous Granada landscape from the Mirador de San Nicolás, among others.
– And the Sacromonte neighborhood, with its more than 3000 caves and panoramic views from lesser-known areas (which make them our favorite viewpoints), where we can learn about and understand the life of the gypsies from centuries ago through their history, legends, anecdotes, curiosities and discovering its most precious legacy: Flamenco.
- At Museum of the Sacromonte Caves they stay 25 min, at the end of the tour they can be observed and enter 15 royal caves with all the original accessories from the Moorish and Gypsy era to date. Being a museum of interpretation there you will find everything: the bronze vessels, the ceramic plates and the process that the potters used, you can also see what the kitchen and its utensils were like in a cave, what their sleeping rooms were like, the blacksmith's cave (the forge) and has a scandalous location, with exclusive views of the Alhambra that take your breath away.
