Discover Moorish Granada — from the Dar al-Horra palace to the El Bañuelo Arab baths — with a guide who tells it in English or Spanish depending on the day, and pay what you wish (tip-based) at the end. We leave from Placeta de San Miguel Bajo, in the heart of the Albaicín, and start at the Dar al-Horra palace, home of Sultan Boabdil's mother. Then we stroll through hidden corners of this World Heritage neighbourhood: Plaza de las Azucenas with views of the Alhambra, the Aljibe de Trillo, the Church of the Conversos and Calle San Juan de los Reyes. We continue to the Nasrid Maristan, Granada's first hospital, and finish at El Bañuelo, one of the best-preserved Arab baths in the Peninsula, next to the Paseo de los Tristes.
