Beautiful walk with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide Sergio. We would never have seen this gorgeous area without him guiding us through the maze of streets. He sunset views were amazing and we even got a full moon rise which topped off the beauty.

Sergio is a expert guide. He is an historian with a remarkable depth of knowledge, including but not limited to Granada’s rich history. He is also an engaging storyteller. Sergio taught us a great deal about the history of the Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods while leading us through the winding stone mosaic streets. We visited key viewpoints as the sun set first on the Alhambra, then on the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance. We continued upward through labyrinthine alleyways to the fabled Sacromonte neighborhood of cave houses and learned the amazing history of their inhabitants. It was a memorable experience, one we will never forget.
