Guided visit to the Arab quarter of the Albaicín
Meeting point: School
Guide: Teacher from the school
Price: free

The Albaicín is Granada's oldest Arab district situated on the hill across from the Alhambra. In the 13th century, this was a prosperous district with a slew of palaces and Cármenes. The Moorish district became a maze of narrow streets and squares combined with a multitude of whitewashed houses. After the reconquest of Granada by the Catholic Kings in 1492, the original mosques in this Moorish district were torn down and replaced with churches.

Flamenco at the Alhambra
Lorca and Granada in the Generalife Gardens
with the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucia
Meeting time: 21.00 h
Meeting point: Plaza Nueva
Guides: Marga/Paco
Price: 20 €

Granada is very elegantly poised with Arab-influenced architecture, gypsy-inhabited caves and Iberian culture.

As the last city to be returned to the Christian conquistadors after several hundred centuries of Muslim ruling, our city still bears evidence to its Arabic influence to this day. The Alhambra was built during the Moorish reign in the 15th century, and still stands proud and majestic on the hill.

Other signs of Arab influence can be seen in the Albaicín, one of the oldest and most fascinating areas. Perched on a hilltop it consists of steep cobblestoned paths and white-washed houses. Arab teahouses and Moroccan shops line the narrow street that leads up to the hilltop. The perfect way to relax after a day, is to have a glass of sweet tea in one of the Arab teahouses or relax in an Hammam, an Arab bath.

You will visit the Alhambra wit one of our teachers, the city center, the Albaicín and the Arab bath. You will complement the visits with workshops about moorish history, calligraphy and cooking.

As part of our programme for non-native Spanish teachers we offer this 1 or 2 wks monographic course related to Arab culture in Granada. The programme combines an Intensive 20 Spanish course (Level C1/C2) with cultural activities related to Arab history in our city. For further information have a look at the course progamme.
