The Gypsies settled in Granada in the eighteenth century on the slopes of Cerro de San Miguel on the edge of the Camino del Sacromonte, the old route of the Guadix Muslims.

The caves of Sacromonte are grouped around ravines, forming what amounts to streets. There are caves of several categories.
The best known to visitors are those devoted to Zambra: spacious, white and adorned with shiny copper pots.
These caves of Sacromonte in Granada are located near the road and are easily accessible.

The caves of Sacromonte have for centuries been the home of gypsies, bohemians and Flemish artists.
The Gypsies, like the Jews, are a group that has preserved its pure racial identity over the centuries.
Although the performances of flamenco in Sacromonte are now commercial and directed primarily at groups of foreign tourists, it is a must to spend at least one night in a cave of the Sacromonte to watch a flamenco show.

Beautiful Sacromonte

Take the minibus up to the Abbey and enjoy the most amazing views of Granada and the Alhambra. Then walk your way back and see the beautifully decorated caves, but don´t accept any invitation to visit private homes.
There are many caves open to the public as restaurants or flamenco night shows. They display clear signs at the door and sell official tickets.
