We joined two free walking tours - one in the morning, and one in the late afternoon. They were both with Walking Granada. We did the Essential Granada and Albaicin tours. I was very satisfied with the guides and the tours. If you have a limited amount of time, especially at the start of a trip, it's wise to take tours. You can take private tours, or you can join these free walking tours. With the free ones, at the end, you tip based on how happy you are. It's a good deal.
Was tempting!

This is where we met up with our Essential Granada walking tour group. We met a young lady from Maryland, and I believe a couple from Pennsylvania. There were also some ladies from India, and we had a nice time talking.

We enjoyed this Moroccan restaurant.
This is our late afternoon Albaicin tour. There was a small group from Liverpool, and I had a fun time chatting with them,

We then walked a bit back down to witness the sunset. Former President Bill Clinton once said that this was one of the most beautiful spots he had ever seen a sunset.
And here are some photos an Italian lady shared. I used her phone to take her photo.
Walked 8.4 miles on the day! The weather has been super. 60s early morning and at night. Mid-80s during the day.
