An exclusive tour from Granada Secreta offers a unique opportunity to uncover the hidden and often overlooked history of the Alhambra’s prisons and the Mauror hill. This unusual journey delves into the spaces where captives were confined, revealing stories that history has largely left in the shadows. Visitors will explore the Islamic prison, understanding how Christian prisoners lived, the hardships they endured, and the routines that defined their daily existence. The tour illuminates the human dimension of these spaces, bringing to life the personal narratives that history books often omit.
As you move through these historic areas, the experience provides context about the social, political, and cultural circumstances that shaped imprisonment during this period. The exploration of the Mauror hill and the Alhambra’s lesser-known quarters allows participants to grasp the architectural and strategic significance of these sites, while also reflecting on the resilience and struggles of those who were confined there. This journey offers a rare and revealing perspective on Granada’s past, combining historical insight with storytelling that makes the forgotten corners of the city come alive.

Frederik
Excelent guide. Knows his way around spanish and andalusian history and makes the tour through Granada’s streets and interest points very engaging, interesting and funny. We always felt taken care of and learned a lot about the city’s history and culture during our short visit here. Can highly recommend.
Dana
Luis presented my husband and me with a thoroughly remarkable walking tour on Wed, March 9, 2023. With his knowledge of the history of Granada, we are appreciating our stay in this lovely city that much more. Luis showed us many neighborhoods, historical sites, unique shopping/dining/tapas venues and other interesting land/plant features throughout the tour. He spoke clearly and professionally with a warm and welcoming demeanor. We highly recommend booking a tour through Guia Pajarita— and ask for Luis. You will learn and enjoy so much during this fruitful two hour walk all through Granada.
Philippe
We had an impressive experience with our tour guide Luis today. We for sure recommend this tour. You get in a 2 hour walk, an excellent view of Granada with lots of interesting historical know-how.
María
Luis was our guide in the Granada Free tour (city center and lower albaicin). We really enjoyed the tour with him, he was very interesting and had a vast knowledge on the city. His English was very good and he was always open to answer all of our questions. We would recommend and repeat the tour with him.
Kevin
Very nice and well prepared tour. We had two nice hours during which we learned a lot and we could notice that our guide loves his job and didn't rush at any point of the tour. Really recomendable!
