By dusk, the Albaicín tightens its grip on the city—whitewashed houses stack on the hill, alleys narrow, and the Sierra Nevada sits like a cool shoulder behind the Alhambra. This 2–3 hour evening walking tour threads through those lanes, pausing at plazas and viewpoints while sampling three local wines and three plates of tapas.
