Best Granada-Albaicin holiday apartments

Albaicin is a predominantly residential district of Granada, Spain. Although the area is a modern, vibrant society filled with classic Andalusian charm, the district’s illustrious past can be seen on almost every street. This entire region was once under Moorish control, and the ancient buildings and relics that can be found at almost every turn are a poignant reminder of that period in Granada’s history.

Apartments in Albaicin Provide Luxury and Privacy

Walking through the cobbled, narrow and winding streets of the Albaicin will take you back over 1,500 years. Such is the historical importance of the area, UNESCO bestowed the status of World Heritage Site on it in 1984. Amongst a number of must-see sights in the district are the remains of an ancient Arabian bath facility, the Museum of Archaeology and the stunning Church of San Salvador, which stands on the former site of a Mosque. Granada’s links to the African continent can be seen throughout the district, and much of Albaicin’s cuisine, architecture and art has its roots in the Arabic countries of Africa and Asia. This is an area that is best explored on foot, so a comfortable holiday residence is essential.
