The top part of the house cantains offices which cannot be visited, but worth a look is the garden with a beautiful view of the Alhambra and Albaycin and two lovely patios.

You can also have a look at the library if you are fond of Islamic culture.

To the right of the Cuesta del Chapiz up the Camino del Sacromonte are the flamenco shows at night in the Caves of Sacromonte.

Two restored Moorish houses from the 16th century connected to each other by an arch with beautiful gardens, a typical patio in the center, a lovely long lily pool and beautiful views of the Alhambra. It is a small, not a well known place, but it is worth a quick visit. Only two euros.
