Albayzín (El)
Authentic Moorish district
Back to Albayzín (El)
Good place to wander for half a day or so. Scattered churches, arched gateways, little shops, and places to stop for a cool drink. Very hilly. We mean it.

The whole neighborhood is an experience of its own. This part of town is more than 1000 years old ans still inhabitted- not a DisneyLand at all ! This is real.

Granada was ruled by the Moors of the Nasrid Dynasty from 1238 to 1492. The city was known as a major cultural center before it fell to the Catholic Monarchs. Under the rule of Ferdinand and Isabella, Granada became a focus for the Renaissance. In one particular corner of the city, however, evidence of Moorish culture was virtually untouched by the new movement.
