Albaicín

The neighborhood extends across a hill with narrow lanes, stone-paved streets, white buildings, and traditional gardens enclosed by high walls.

The area developed during the Nasrid dynasty in the 11th century, becoming a fortified settlement with forty thousand inhabitants and thirty mosques.

The district maintains its medieval Islamic urban planning with carmenes, traditional houses featuring gardens, fountains, and ornamental elements from various periods.

Numerous small hotels and guest houses occupy restored historical buildings throughout the quarter, providing accommodation options within walking distance of major attractions.

The Palace of Dar-al-Horra stands as the former residence of Aixa, mother of Boabdil, featuring original Nasrid architectural elements and decorative patterns.
