We stayed 1 night in Granada - I wish we had more time. We only had time for Alhambra and so glad we managed to squeeze in our visit to the caves in Granada before leaving. We walked up the steep hill to see the caves where the gypsies lived many years ago. Beautiful views of the Alhambra below. Entrance fee is 5 euros. It was so interesting and other worldly to see these cave homes and look into the history of Sacramonte and the gypsies. Each cave has its own topic, from daily life to the origins of Flamenco. This was one of the highlights of our tour to Spain.
I’d say this is the next best thing you can visit in Granada. It’s great to see the way gitanos had the live after being thrown out of the city. The museum is one of the few examples of what the caves looked like originally. The cave that covered the history of flamenco was also very interesting and they have a movie playing there with old footage of the shows. Definitely worth the climb and the 5 euro. The view of the Alhambra was very nice as well.
While staying at an airbnb cave rental in Sacromonte we visited at the end of our trip and I'm so glad we did. Fascinating exhibits in a series of caves on local gypsy history, the local plants, rocks, animals, and ecology, the origins of Flamenco, and, at the end, global cave cultures. Each room is just the right amount of info to read along with exhibit artifacts. Staff was very warm and the cafe has snacks and beer on tap for a nice break in the middle in a beautiful setting. Honestly, after visiting many galleries and tourist museums over the last week in Barcelona and Granada, this was refreshingly human, down to earth and not an exhausting amount of info and space to cover. I think this museum will end up staying with me more than many of the big official places we went which I also enjoyed but seem less special.
At the top of a hill, facing the magnificent views of Alhambra - there lies this small and unique museum. The entrance fee is 5 euros, for which you can enjoy a stroll between the caves and look into the history of Sacramonte history and the Gipsy community background.Each cave us dedicated to a different topic, from everyday life to the origins of Flamenco, and you can find information in Spanish and English at their entrances.At the entrance you can also buy some water and snacks, and grab a table under the sun to sit and share your experiences from this unique museum
Engloba un grupo de cuevas en las que se recrea desde una vivienda hasta los oficios de sus primeros moradores en su mayoría moriscos y Gitanos procedentes de la India.Este recinto cuenta con paneles informativos y códigos QR con audio-guía muy interesantes.Nuestro guía Juan, gran conocedor de este precioso barrio del Sacromonte 'Cuna de la Zambra y corazón del Flamenco' nos sumergió en su historia y cultura de forma didáctica y amena.Su visita la recomiendo para disfrutar además de unas vistas del Sacromonte y como no de la Alhambra y Generalife preciosas.
Interesante museo en el barrio de Sacromonte de Granada. Si se va a esa zona de la ciudad es imprescindible visitarlo, ya que se aprende mucho sobre la historia de la zona, así de como son las casas cueva de la ciudad de Granada. El precio de la entrada no es muy elevado, y además se tienen unas vistas muy bonitas hacia la Alhambra desde un pequeño mirador que se encuentra en el interior. En interior de las casas está decorado para poder ver cómo se vivía antaño en el interior y se tienen paneles informativos donde se cuenta la historia.
Muy bien todo! La chica de recepción majisima, nos guardó los trastos que llevábamos encima y fue muy amable. El museo está muy guay y mola meterse dentro a ver todo. Super vistas. Audioguia gratis escaneando QR. Compramos las entradas allí sin problema.
Un sitio maravilloso donde ir, entre otras cosas, a ver películas alternativas en sus noches de cine de verano. Mínimo una vez al año es un plan obligatorio para mi.Por 5€ podrás disfrutar de un excelente ambiente en un entorno muy agradable. Llévate tu cena o cómprate allí un bocata.Muy muy recomendable.
Visita obligada si quieres conocer más sobre el barrio gitano y sus costumbres. Merece la pena la caminata y sus cuestas interminables, jaja. Al llegar hay una terraza donde poder tomar algo a la sombra.
Vale la pena subir todas esas escaleras y pegarse la paliza de llegar hasta allí y pagar 5e por persona para entrar porque han conseguido recrear a la perfección con vídeos la vida de los gitanos flamencos,sus costumbres, como desde niños igual que andar aprendían este arte, con música de Enrique Morente y fotos antiguas te transportan un siglo atrás y puedes entender su sentir y su forma de vivir
