What the experience includes
This tour is only done in Spanish language
Discover an art and style of houses developed only in Granada. A perfect debate between the concept of city and nature
What is a Carmen?
It is a type of urban housing typical of the neighborhoods of Albaicín and Realejo with an attached green space, garden and orchard at the same time, which constitutes an extension of the house, with access to the outside closed by high walls with lush vegetation. “It's not just a garden, not just an orchard” and “in general, it's not a luxury estate, but a small unit farm”.
Our private walking tour of Los Cármenes is based on the almunias or patios of the Nasrid era (XIII-XV centuries) in continuous transformation even beyond the romantic era. We will explain you what the most experts tell us about an art and style of home developed only in Granada. A perfect debate between the concept of city and nature
