Enjoy the sound of water, the views and the beautiful visit we have prepared for you
Bring out your most adventurous side and dare to discover hidden places in Granada that you never knew existed.
We tell you a bit of the history as we walk through the beautiful scenery and winding paths, following the course of the Acequia del Tercio until losing track of it when it goes underground at the romantic lookout point over the Alhambra.
We arrive at the Castle of Santa Elena, a small Nasrid fortress from which we can get a unique panoramic view of the Alhambra, the city and the valley of the Darro River. We enter areas full of plant life, with a small waterfall that connects the Acequia del Tercio, and then we zigzag down until reaching the mythical Fountain of Avellano, the site where nineteenth-century romantics like Ángel Ganivet met at sunset.
The tour ends at Paseo de los Tristes, then back to the city after a dream-like walk that takes you back to times gone by.
Dare to experience it.
