Garnâta centuries ago had many neighborhoods and five hills. The neighborhoods, like anywhere else, had been created on the initiative of potters, weavers, brickmakers or oil workers … Also out of rejection and contempt, such as water carriers, chalanes or lepers. But the largest suburb was the one called al-Bayyazzin. And it is that the Albaicín was the most charismatic neighborhood in the city of Granada, so much so that the neighborhood had its own governing body and its own autonomy, which made it powerful and feared even more by the Alhambra, a city of sultans and viziers
It was at this time that the neighborhood was designed, with narrow and labyrinthine streets, interspersed with small squares. Today, it boasts flower-adorned balconies, impressive viewpoints, and ancient cisterns, creating a romantic and charming setting.
What lies behind the high white walls remains a mystery to many. But we know many and we can solve some of them in this private visit
