Albaicin, Spain

Albaicin is a part of modern Granada, which has preserved the mark of the medieval Moorish past - the narrow winding streets. The walk around the neighborhood, however, also takes place along other, less lively, winding and intersecting streets like a labyrinth, lined with arrows labeled mirador - a place from which a beautiful view can be found, popping up after every turn.
It is called the white quarter because of the color of its buildings. Along with the Alhambra, the Albaicin was also included in the UNESCO cultural heritage in 1989. Located on the slopes of the banks of the Darro River, Albaicin is at the foot of the hill opposite the Alhambra, which attracts countless tourists.
But this is not the only thing that impresses tourists. Walking along the Plaza Nueva, passing the beautiful Church of Santa Ana, you come to the remains of the 11th century Arab baths of El Bañuelo. Second stop is the Archaeological Museum of Granada, housed in the Renaissance house Casa de Castril. Emphasis also falls on the Collegiata del Salvador church, built in 1501 on the foundations of the largest mosque in Albaicin, with a courtyard and Arabic architecture. It has a museum that exhibits beautiful religious paintings and sculptures.
In Plaza San Nicolas stands a whitewashed, brick church built in the 16th century, from which there is a perfect view of the Alhambra Palace and the Sierra Nevada mountain peaks. 
Albaicin has also preserved some original Moorish houses. One of them is Carmen - Museo Max Moreau. It was owned by the Belgian artist Max Moreau and his wife Felice. A wide range of restaurants and cafes dotted around the picturesque squares and some streets are inspired by North Africa. Albaicin is a separate corner of itself, remaining as an Arab part, full of Moroccan pastry shops.
