Beautiful walkable town center where you can stroll along and enjoy the magical vibe of this historic town. With a beautiful view of the Alhambra above on the hill and the well preserved architecture of the past surrounding you, this road transports you to a magical time of the past. Great restaurants with outdoor seating the area is just perfect for taking in the sights. Very safe yet can get busy w cars trying to make their way thru the crowds, I’ve heard the road will soon be pedestrian only so should be better. Still most pleasant area to see in historic Granada.

You will find yourself here several times in the course of a stay. It is chock full of shops, restaurants and hotels. Many Middle Eastern restaurants tend to congregate here. It can be a busy street. Watch out always for the vehicular traffic. Look up for the top of several buildings at the Alhambra.

We love walking around the streets and it was lovely walking around this area too. It was nice just looking at the interesting buildings, the surroundings, the shops and people. At the time of our walk there were quite a few visitors doing exactly the same thing. If you wish you can also take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee or a bite to eat at one of the eateries on the way.

It is the most famous street in Albayzin.

It starts from the church of Santa Ana and continues narrowly: on one side the facades - some very beautiful - of buildings that recall the history of this city and this neighborhood, on the other the flow of the Darro torrent, practically the river of Granada which he proceeds nervously at the foot of the Alhambra.

It is undoubtedly an intriguing route, but at the same time - especially on holidays and high season - you need to have a lot of patience.

There are many people, the spaces are narrow and you often have to step aside to allow the passage of the numerous taxis and buses, the only means of transport allowed to circulate.

And there is space, always on holidays, for stalls selling trinkets, but at least they are in an open space dedicated to them.

After our evening walking tour of Sacromonte and Albayczin we took a stroll on this beautiful alley to get back to the town centre. The atmosphere, the lights, everything is very charming and romantic. Lots or tradituonal shops and surprisingly cheap eatieres where to stop at.

It was with the sacromonte a deliberate choice not to visit all of Granada, the Carrera del darro was therefore visited quite quickly. At the foot of the Alhambra and the Albeycin it nevertheless has a lot of charm.
On the other hand, I was disappointed to constantly come across vehicles and transport buses, the safety of visitors is not respected very much, especially by the small buses which rush at high speed. It would perhaps be useful to reduce these bus rotations for PRMs and disabled people; able-bodied people have an easier time moving around and this would be done without the fear of being cut down by vehicles...

A lovely street to walk alongside the River Darro with views up to the Alhambra. It's very narrow and very busy with cars, taxis and buses so you need to watch out. Lined with restaurants, shops and historical buildings.

Nicest area in the Albaicin area. Regular buses into town also the hop on hop off train. Enjoy the walk looking up at the people in the Alhambra looking down or stop at one of the many places offering food, drinks, tapas, icecreams etc.

The Carrera del Darro takes visitors on one of the more charming walks a person can make in Spain. The narrow cobblestone street winds along a small stream and is fronted by old buildings, ancient bridges and attractive shops and bars. Very popular with tourists, but manages to retain its charm!

The Carrera del Darro is a beautiful and picturesque walk at the foot of the Alhambra. The mix of its buildings, the riverbed and the views of the Alhambra makes it unique and indescribable. It is worth taking a leisurely stroll along this road.
