Granada is an ancient city that was first inhabited in the 5th Century, BC. It went on to become the centre of the Islamic Empire in Spain during the 9th-14th Centuries BC.

Many historic sites are testament to the cultural complexity of moorish settlers during this time. The beauty of their architecture and the power held over the area is particularly visible in the mighty Alhambra palace. Granada offers visitors a unique experience of both Andalucian and Arabic cultures blended together. A recipe for an unforgettable experience in this area of Spain!

Areas of Granada: Albayzín

with its Arabic influence

In this area of Granada, the Arabic influence is visible everywhere. Full of art and craft shops, middle eastern restaurants, arabic teahouses, a medina of tiny cobblestoned streets and plazas with sculptures are tropical gardens. This area was where many of the more wealthy Moorish families lived. Even today their mark remains on this enchanting corner of the city.

Visitors will enjoy getting to know the Old Arab Baths, the Archaeological Museum of Granada and the Church of San Nicolas, all located in this neighborhood.

Areas of Granada: Sacromonte Hill

wonderful views of the city

This area was a gypsy settlement that grew out of necessity when these people were expelled from the city under the Monarchists during the 15th Century. The people here fashioned homes by carving out the rock face into a series of underground caves, where some people still live today.

Retaining its artistic and colorful character from ancient times, this is the place to come to experience the art and cultural aspects of the gypsy's contribution to Spanish culture today- flamenco dance and guitar being a perfect example.

This is where you will find the Sacromonte Abbey and Museum, which are both worth visiting if you get the chance. Apart from the sights, this area is a great place for lunch or some tapas whilst you're out and about.

Areas of Granada: Realejo

One of the most pupular!

This neighborhood is situated on the left side of the Darro River, underneath the Alhambra palace. This area was mostly populated by Jewish residents in the old days, until they were ousted from the city under the rule of Ferdinand and Isabel during the 15th Century.

Today, its full of pretty Andalucian style villas with whitewashed walls, inner courtyards and lush tropical gardens. There are also a lot of craft workshops in the area where you can watch local craftsmen at work as you wonder past. Here is the place to come if you're on the lookout for some great souvenirs such as guitars, embroidery and ceramics.

If you come to Realejo, make sure you visit the Church of San Cecilio,dedicated to the patron saint of Granada. This area really comes alive during the religious festivals held in Granada throughout the year, but it's still worth visiting outside these times.

Visiting a hamman in Granada

Enjoy a relaxing and sensual arabian bath

Communal bathing was an important and popular pastime during Moorish rule in Granada. Rich or poor, everyone would visit the bathhouses as often as they could to relax, meet with friends and family and maintain a good standard of personal hygiene.

Usually a series of baths in individual rooms, heated to different temperatures and accompanied by a massage, the experience is a must do while you're in Granada!

The Haman Arab Baths on Calle Santa Ana:
Entry to the baths = 17 euros, or entry with massage = 26 euros. Open every day, including Sundays and holidays. Book online at Hamman Spain
