Granada Scooter Tour with Optional Flamenco Show

Ride a scooter through the must-visit Granada neighborhoods of Albaicin and Sacromonte on a 3-hour tour! Drive the scooter yourself or settle in behind another person, and follow a knowledgeable local guide into the hills surrounding the city. Discover viewpoints aplenty in the UNESCO-listed neighborhood of Albaicin, and see the famous cave homes and abbey while riding through Sacromonte's forest. If you want to combine the tour with a taste of the local culture, upgrade to include a 1-hour flamenco show in the Sacromonte Caves, too.

Meet your guide in central Granada and, after a quick safety briefing and practice session, put on your helmet and hop on board! Choose to either drive the scooter alone or with another person. Following your guide, pass along the wide main street of Gran Via de Colón, and up to Granada’s old Arabic neighborhood: the UNESCO World Heritage site of Albaicin. Sprawled over a hill adjacent to the Alhambra palace complex, Albaicin is home to a maze of pretty cobblestone streets and countless viewpoints such as Mirador San Cristóbal.

Stop at the vantage point for photos of the Alhambra — the city’s best-known UNESCO site — and then continue driving through the hills to Sacromonte, the historical heart of Granada’s gypsy community. Take a break at Mirador San Miguel Alto to ogle panoramic views of Granada mapped out in front of you, and look down on some of the city’s top sights.

Hit the road again to venture through the forest that weaves through the area. Look out for Sacromonte Abbey, the 17th-century stunner that dominates the surrounding landscape, and see the famous Sacromonte Caves that Granada’s early gypsy settlers created as homes.

Work your way back into town, enjoying quick stops at the beloved viewpoint of Mirador San Nicolás and one of the largest Arabic cisterns in Albaicin: El Carmen del Aljibe del Rey. Continue past San Miguel Bajo and the elegant Gate of Elvira, and then finish your tour at the start point.

Tour plus Flamenco Show:
Upgrade to include a flamenco show after your scooter tour and continue with a guide from the Gate of Elvira to a venue in the Sacromonte Caves. The best place in the city to see authentic flamenco, the caves were historically used by the gypsies to meet up, dance and be merry; the tradition continues today, and impromptu performances and organized shows take place most nights.

Enjoy a drink and take your seat in time to watch the flamboyant 1-hour show performed by local dancers. Tapas and additional drinks are available throughout the performance at your own expense. After the show finishes, meet your guide outside and drive back to the tour’s starting point where your experience ends.
