This moderate, circular route is 2.68km long and starts in Plaza Nueva. It begins at 696m, rises to 768m and then drops to 696m. It explores some of the important monuments in the Albaicín area of Granada.
The walk starts in Plaza Nueva. We walk past the Royal Chancillery, the Church of San Gil y Santa Ana, the Bañuelo (the old Arab baths), the Convento de Zafra and the Church of San Pedro and San Pablo. We then come to the Casa de las Chirimías (at the start of Paseo de los Tristes) with the Hotel Reúma on our right, on the other side of the river. We walk through Paseo de los Tristes (or Paseo Padre Manjón) just below the Alhambra and then up the Cuesta Chapiz, past Palacio de los Córdova (an ornate palatial home and gardens built in the 16th century and now housing the Municipal Archive), Carmen de la Victoria (a 19th century carmen built on the site of a former convent and now belonging to the University of Granada), and the Escuela de Estudios árabes (also known as the Casas de Chapiz, two Moorish houses which were built in the 14th century). We pass the Peso de Harina on our right, a small square with a statue of Chorrojumo, King of the Gypsies (1824-1906), which marks the start of the Camino Sacromonte. We continue up the Cuesta Chapiz to Plaza Aliatar, past the Salvador Church to Plaza Larga. We walk through the Arco de las Pesas and on to Mirador San Nicolas, with its fantastic views of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada. We then make our way down to the centre of Granada and back to Plaza Nueva.
