🗺️ Complete Itinerary – 27 Stops

  1. Iglesia Parroquial de San Gil y Santa Ana — Begin at this Mudéjar-Renaissance church, with Plaza Nueva’s lively backdrop setting the tone for your climb toward the Alhambra.
  2. Puerta de las Granadas — A triumphal gateway marking the entry to the Alhambra hill. Step through into shaded paths where the city’s noise dissolves.
  3. Bosque de la Alhambra — Wander under ancient oaks and elms, where filtered light and birdsong create a natural threshold between Granada and the palatial world above.
  4. Puerta de Bibarrambla — This arch recalls festive parades and markets of old Granada. Imagine colorful processions once passing through its frame.
  5. Torres Bermejas — Reddish stone towers older than the Alhambra itself. Their rugged walls whisper of Moorish military defense.
