A thousand years of Granada’s secrets hum beneath the cobbled streets of Albaicín, where Moorish palaces and gypsy caves hide stories that refuse to stay in the past.

Unlock the city’s layered history with this self-guided audio tour. Wind through labyrinthine alleys and discover the drama, legends, and forgotten corners that most travelers miss.

Which rebels once plotted beneath the arches of the Maristán de Granada? What forbidden ritual echoes through Sacromonte’s ancient caves after midnight? Why did a mysterious scandal erupt inside the silent walls of the Monastery of the Franciscan Conception over a single lost manuscript?

Stand where sultans grieved, flamenco pulsed, and shadows still linger. Every turn reveals new drama and beauty as you chase the truth behind Granada’s poetic facades. See the city anew through shadows and sunlight.

Begin the journey and uncover the stories hidden under Albaicín’s ancient stones.
