What to expect

Embark on a guided tour to explore the extraordinary underground galleries designed by architect Guillermo Langle Rubio, reaching a depth of 9 meters, to safeguard human lives during the bombings of the Spanish Civil War. Within this extensive network spanning 4.5 kilometers, you will focus on the recovered section of nearly 1 kilometer, which coincides with the bustling Paseo de Almeria.

You will hear about the historical context of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) that profoundly marked the country's history. While Almería did not directly experience the war as the last city governed by the Second Republic, it endured the impact of 52 bombings targeting military, strategic, and even civilian sites.

Against this backdrop of war, the resilient citizens of Almeria took initiative. You will discover how they united to construct underground shelters and actively cooperated in their implementation, demonstrating their determination to protect lives during times of alarm.

This historic neighbourhood has UNESCO World Heritage Site status, and you'll soon see why, with whitewashed houses, hidden corners and glimpses of the city opening up around you. Keep an eye out for colourful tiles, flower-filled patios and Moorish details tucked into the streets – these little touches are where Granada's character really comes to life.For one of the city's best views, make your way to San Cristobal viewpoint, where the Alhambra takes centre stage against the Sierra Nevada. It's the kind of spot that really puts Granada into perspective, so have your camera ready. With transfers included, you can enjoy the sights without worrying about getting into the city – just settle in and soak up the history, architecture and unmistakable character of Granada.
