كيفية الوصول إلى هناك: The minibuses C31 and C32 take you to the Albaycin from the city center (Plaza de Isabel la Católica). One of the stops of the C31 will leave you next to one of the essential visits here: the viewpoint of San Nicolás. To access the neighborhood by walking, two of the most common entrances are from the Puerta de Elvira or from Plaza Nueva.

نقاط الاهتمام: You will find a dozen viewpoints (the most famous is San Nicolás), minarets of ancient mosques, cármenes (big houses with an interior garden) -De los Mártires, de la Victoria, Max Moreau...-, Morisco houses, palaces, monumental gates (such as Monaíta), islamics cisterns (as Aljibe del Rey) and baths (as the Bañuelo), museums (the Archaeological is one of them), narrow streets and small squares full of charm, and the new Great Mosque (Mezquita Mayor). In total, about 40 monuments.

نصيحتنا Keep in mind that the Albaycin literally extends on a hill, so you'll find many slopes. A good idea: get to any of the high points in public transport (for example, the Plaza de San Nicolás, next to the viewpoint and the New Mosque) and then walk downhill.
