A: City tour - During the morning walking tour both aspects of the Moorish history and reign of the Catholic Kings can be discovered when starting the tour at Plaza Nueva, then up through the winding streets of the Jewish Albaicin Quarter alongside the river, and a visit to a Carmen house for its spectacular views of the Alhambra. Then you pass the Almohade Mezquita before venturing down into the centre to visit the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, and ancient Arabic market plus much more. The tour is quite physically demanding due to the hilly location of some the sights in Granada, so it’s important to be comfortable with some uphill walking, and be in a reasonably good condition for such a walking tour. The tour aims to offer you the chance to see the three main influences on Granada with Muslims, Christians, and Gypsies living side by side and making Granada what it is today, as well as much of its past. The main attractions are a must, but this tour also offers you a chance to see a more intimate side of Granada.

B: Alhambra Tour - The Alhambra Palace represents a long period of important history in Granada, from the ancient past when all the old monuments that we can still see were built by the Moorish kingdom of Al-Andalus, through the modifications that some of them underwent during the Christian period, to the new restorations and latest changes in the city. Built during the Moslem Nasrid dynasty commencing in the 13th Century, the Alhambra was built as a heavily fortified citadel with 23 towers and 4 gates. Inside were, amongst others dwellings, offices, the royal mint mosques, garrisons, bathhouses and the magnificent 'Palaces' - the Comares complex and the Lion Court complex. It is these Palaces and Courtyards which are the Jewels in the Crown of this imposing structure. The design and layout found here are, beyond doubt, the finest examples of Islamic architectural art to be found outside of the Islamic world. The perfection of the architecture, the detail of the faience mosaic and the complexity of design features are unequalled. That so much has remained and in such remarkable condition is a testament to the quality of the craftsmanship and to the dedication of those who have sought to preserve these historic complexes.


C: Historical Tour
It’s easy to see why Granada has been highly contested throughout the ages with its fertile plains, two rivers, impenetrable surrounding mountain range, and relatively short distance to the coast. Those are a few of the main reasons a wide variety of cultures have left their mark on this incredible city. Another is the strong running theme of religion which is the inspiration for the Granada of the Three Faiths tour, which highlights the intertwined religions of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The guide will run through the major events either side of 1492 the year that played a pivotal role in Granada’s fate. From the Jew shepherds, to the conversion of the Moors to Christianity, to the role of San Cecillo first a martyr, now the patron saint of the city. Since the three have links spanning two thousand years, there is great deal to find out on this informative and entertaining tour.


D: Sacromonte Stroll
With views to the Alhambra and the combined feeling of being rural yet within walking distance of the city, this part of Granada has been home to some of the best Flamenco talent in Andalucia. The cave dwellings once buzzed with the raucous zambras, a spontaneous communal show, long into the night, and have also inspired a museum to be constructed in dedication to the gyspy traditions and historic facts of the area. Here you will be taken on a guided tour and shown the places of interest throughout the neighbourhood. You will be given the best advice on where to go and how to get in to some of the more outstanding venues for some live flamenco at night. There are also many Flamenco festivals on during the year, as well as a wide variety of live Flamenco styles, so you’re sure to find what you want.


E: Ceramic Tour & Workshop
The distinctive style of ceramics from Granada has a lot to do with the strong links with its rich Islamic past. None of the craftsmanship is lost in today’s modern productions, neither from the handmade items nor the factory-produced ones. Included in the tour is a visit to the Fajaluza ceramics factory in Granada, an important opportunity to see over half a century’s history right before your eyes. Also included is the expert tuition of time served local artist and sculptor during a half day workshop, which will let you realise your full potential with ceramic work. Designs and techniques are on display for you to decorate to your own tastes and take home with you. Themes and stylings from the period of Moorish rule are still created to this day, which will be on full display in both the production and finished article aspects - as you visit a factory and museum showcasing the work of Miguel Ruiz Jimenez. A guide to all the best places to purchase the finest ceramics is also available, should you wish take some pottery, or other local crafts, home with you.


F: Tapas Tour
