Albaicín
A World Heritage Site, this quarter was the embryo of Granada and still retains the essence of its Muslim past. Buildings, squares, lovely narrow streets... Everything remembers its Andalusian origin. Much of its charm resides in the cármenes (traditional houses with interior gardens) and the stunning viewpoints. Firstly, it was the residence of the Ziri kings; later, refuge for many Moriscos. 500 years after, the adzhan is heard again at the top of Albaicín quarter.
