Overview

Discover the essence of Granada through its most iconic sites in this walking tour, where you decide at the end how much to pay the independent guide in a *pay-what-you-think-it-was-worth* format.

From the historic Plaza Nueva to the lively Alcaicería market, explore the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, and the Moorish Corral del Carbón. Learn about the city’s rich past at Plaza Isabel La Católica and end your journey in the charming Albaicín, with its narrow streets and stunning Alhambra views. A perfect introduction to Granada’s history and beauty, all under the spirit of a *pay-what-you-think-it-was-worth tour*.

Due to the dynamics of this *pay-what-you-think-it-was-worth tour*, groups of 9 people or more are not allowed. Although the reservation engine allows booking in separate groups (for example: a group of 8 people and a group of 3 people, or more), the person in charge of the meeting point may reject the group in case of identifying this type of reservation.

What to expect

  1. Plaza Nueva

    Meet your guide at Plaza Nueva, a lively meeting point nestled between the historic Albaicín and the Alhambra. Surrounded by elegant buildings and bustling cafés, it’s the perfect place to start exploring the city.
  2. Plaza de Isabel La Catolica
    20m
    This iconic square features a striking monument of Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus, symbolizing the moment she agreed to fund his voyage to the Americas. It’s a key site that links Granada’s Christian and exploration history.
  3. Corral del Carbon
    20m
    A beautifully preserved 14th-century Moorish building, originally used as an inn and warehouse for merchants. Today, it offers a glimpse into Granada’s Nasrid past and hosts cultural events and artisan shops.
  4. Alcaiceria
    20m
    Once the silk market during Moorish times, the Alcaicería is now a maze of narrow alleys filled with colorful shops selling crafts, souvenirs, and local goods. It’s a charming place to experience Granada’s Arabic heritage.
