Carrera del Darro in Granada - One of the Oldest Streets of XVII s

Carrera del Darro, this name is given to the entire left bank of the river Darro, to the curve of St. Peter and St. Paul, and should not be confused with the Acera del Darro.

Carrera del Darro is one of the most scenic walks in Granada to the right of the river Darro, with its little downstream and crossed by two bridges of brick and stone that are called Cabrera and Espinosa, which join Carrera del Darro with the neighborhood of the Churra, between the river, the forest of the Alhambra, and the Almanzora that extends up the slope of Gomerez.

The street dates from the s. XVII. Because of the damage produced in 1509 by the explosion of an ammunition near the Church of St. Peter, was demolished part of the wall that ran here and changed the direction of the river widening the street.
