Albaicín and Sacromonte Tour plus Cave Museum: This guided tour offers the best panoramic views of Granada and the Alhambra . We'll visit places steeped in centuries of tradition, such as the famous Sacromonte caves, where, accompanied by an official local guide , we'll discover the captivating world of Flamenco , the most precious legacy of the Romani people —a privilege for anyone sensitive to their five senses. They managed to develop it into an art form, now declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, after centuries of suffering and struggle to survive racial injustices. Today, we can proudly showcase this art, as Granada, and Sacromonte in particular, is one of the cradles where this extraordinary folklore, songs and dances, customs, and vibrant culture flourished.
We highly recommend the full guided tour we offer thanks to our collaboration with the Sacromonte Caves Museum. This tour without the museum visit is 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.
– The Sacromonte Caves Museum lasts 25 minutes. At the end of the tour, you can see and enter 15 real caves with all the original artifacts from the Moorish and Gypsy periods to the present day. As an interpretive museum , you'll find everything: bronze vessels, ceramic plates, and the pottery process they used. You can also see what a kitchen was like in a cave, its utensils, what the sleeping quarters were like, the blacksmith's cave (the forge), and it has a stunning location with exclusive, breathtaking views of the Alhambra .
