Description
Living inside the earth, the origin of flamenco, the roots and culture of the gypsy people in the Albaicín and Sacromonte
Join us on this excellent guided walking tour in small groups to discover the impact of gypsy art in Granada. Our expert local guide will take you on a journey through the folklore, habits, customs, anecdotes, history of flamenco (an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity), persecutions, inquisitions, centuries of suffering and social injustice. Today, we can be proud that the neighborhoods of Albaicín and Sacromonte, along with their inhabitants and culture, offer an impressive legacy to Granada and its citizens.
