This district of Granada is located on rather steep hill. Make sure you have right shoes! I reccommend to take a small bus up to the top (seems to be bus number 31 from Plaza Nueva) and then go down looking around. Nothing really special here but using your imagination you can have some impressions...

The hill of the Albayzin stands opposite the hill of the Alhambra, with the river Darro running in between. It is steep, hilly and the streets are paved with little cobble stones.

Albayzin is the old Arab quater - very charming with narrow streets, great views of Alhambra on the oposite hill, several old churches and abbeys and tranquil little squares to enjoy a glass of wine and tapas. To me this was the most enchanting neighborhood in Granada.
