This district is a maze of little streets, famous for its gypsy cave-houses with their whitewashed façades, decorated with colourful flowers. There are many bars here that offer both authentic and "touristy" flamenco shows. If you are lucky, you might get to see La Zambra, a gypsy cave party where the performers dance all night in a style believed to date from the time of the Moorish occupation. Carry on up Camino del Sacromonte, off Cuesta del Chapiz, and you'll come to the 17th-century Abadía del Sacromonte, an abbey and museum, founded by Archbishop Pedro de Castro.

Holy Week is a time of intense religious passion here, as elsewhere in Spain. The religious brotherhoods attached to each church organize processions through the city streets carrying images of Christ, saints and virgins. Each float is followed by lines of nazarenos (the faithful who wear long gowns and cover their heads and faces with conical hats), holding candles and banners. The most atmospheric procession of the week transports the Cristo de los Gitanos (Gypsy Christ) through Sacromonte, to the sound of saetas (religious flamenco song). It normally takes around 14 hours, to run its course and goes throughout the night. The tourist office produces a booklet with the routes and times of every procession so you can choose which to see.
