The lamplight of Plaza Nueva throws long shadows across cobblestones as a small group follows an expert guide into Granada’s cooler night. Narrow alleys of the lower Albaicín fold inward; voices drop and stone seems to lean closer. The guide pauses by an ivy-darkened doorway and unfolds a story tied to a real street, a name, an old event — history given a chill.
