The square hums; a lamp under Santa Ana throws a warm circle and the guide gathers the group. You step off Plaza Nueva into a web of cobbled alleys where the city shifts — white walls narrowing into stairways, a breeze from the Sierra Nevada pushing cool air down the ravine, and the illuminated silhouette of the Alhambra watching like an old guardian.

Wear grippy shoes
Cobbled streets and stairs get slick; supportive sneakers with good tread make the uphill sections far more comfortable.
Layer for evening chill
Temperatures drop quickly after sunset from the Sierra Nevada; bring a light jacket or fleece even in summer.
Carry small change
Bring a few euros for tapas, bathroom stops, or tipping guides — card machines are not guaranteed in small bars.
Mind the steps and residents
Sections are narrow and residential; keep noise down and follow your guide to avoid crowding stairways and private entrances.
Supportive walking shoes
Good traction and ankle support for cobbles and steep stairways.
Headlamp or small flashlight
Guides provide flashlights, but a personal light keeps hands free and improves footing.
Insulating jacket
Night temperatures fall rapidly; a light insulated layer prevents chills on miradores.
