El Albaicín of Granada (the former muslim quarter) is a maze of narrow streets where it's really easy to get lost. I enjoyed a lot walking among its white buildings and small palaces, also called Cármenes.
Between white houses and Cármenes there are nice cafés where I spent a nice time in the evening.
Besides the views of the Alhambra de Granada from the New Mosque and the Sant Nicolás viewpoint are fantastic.
Below you have the most interesting places and buildings I visited in Albaicín:
- New Mosque of Granada
- Albaicín from La Alhambra

A typical Carmen in Albaicín with La Alhambra in the background. A Carmen was a large house Christians built from three or four small muslim houses. Now this Carmen, called Aben Humeya, is a restaurant with a lovely garden and fantastic views of La Alhambra. We came back that day in the evening and we had a really good time there
