The ‘Albaicin’ has been praised for its tempting charm as well as for being the most stimulating, attractive and inspiring quarter of magical Granada. Whitewashed houses and narrow streets where you can almost sense the three cultures which formed Granada´s ancient history - always faced by the Alhambra. Like an impressive guard the Alhambra towers over every corner, reinforcing even more the beauty of this stunning place.

he winding paths, crooked streets and plazas are due in part to the typical ‘Carmenes’, beautifully compounded with churches, convents and historical moorish buildings… ‘El Carmen’ is a typical granadine domicile, that the writer Luis Seco de Lucena defines as a landed house where the owner’s private life takes place, of which the blend of garden and orchard becomes an integral part. That is why a ‘Carmen’ always seems so undisturbed and secluded within its atmosphere of peaceful privacy.
