More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You begin on a sun-warmed plaza, the city’s stone and orange trees already pressing a scent into the air as your guide fits an electric bike and points toward the maze of white houses above. The e-bike eases you up Granada’s steep streets; the city unfolds in tiers — riverfront lanes, the patchwork Realejo, the hilltop Albaicín and the caves of Sacromonte — all framed by the pale ridgeline of the Sierra Nevada and the pale silhouette of the Alhambra.

Granada was the last Muslim-ruled kingdom in Iberia; the Nasrid dynasty left the Alhambra and the urban layout of Albaicín and Sacromonte reflects centuries of layered habitation.
Conservation
Granada’s historic districts are protected by UNESCO and local measures encourage walking and low-impact transport; stick to marked streets and respect private Carmen gardens.
