About Albaicín (Albayzín) neighbourhood
Andalucía
The Albayzín is one of the most charming and historic neighbourhoods in Granada. It is the ancient Moorish quarter, sitting on a hillside opposite the Alhambra palace, offering some of the most spectacular views of the fortress and the Sierra Nevada mountains. A walk through the Albayzín feels like stepping back in time, with its narrow, winding streets, white-washed houses, and cobbled alleys. The Albayzín represents the intersection of cultures in Granada, where Islamic and Christian influences coexisted after the Reconquista of Granada in 1492.
