Overview

This is a unique tour in the city where you will get to know the less known and touristic side of Granada, the caves of San Miguel and Sacromonte. While we all know the caves where they do flamenco shows, less known is the area where the lifestyle has changed little in recent years: self-sustainable caves, without running water or electricity as we understand it, an alternative lifestyle in the middle of the city. We will talk about the process of excavation of the cave, how is the day to day life, the legal situation of these houses, the demands of the neighbors, the problems with the police... A very authentic way to know first hand this neighborhood so unknown, even for the locals of Granada. Wonderful views will accompany us at all times. It requires a moderate level of fitness, as there are many uphill areas, on dirt roads. A different tour, that will not leave you indifferent.
