About This Adventure

Explore El Realejo, Granada's historic Jewish quarter, nestled at the foot of the Alhambra. Stroll through charming streets, discover hidden gems like the 16th-century corrala de Santiago, and relax at the lively Campo del Príncipe. Immerse yourself in the rich Sephardic heritage and savor the local flavors in this tranquil neighborhood.

El Realejo es el antiguo barrio judío de Granada, o Garnata al-Yahud (Granada de los judíos), tal como se llamaba en la época musulmana. Está situado justo a los pies de la Alhambra, y sin duda, la herencia sefardí se puede apreciar en sus calles y rincones, así como en la estatua del judío erudito Yehuda Ibn Tibon, que preside la entrada al barrio desde la calle Pavaneras.
